I think that for some people they can feel very successful with just having a loving family, two cars, two dogs, two TVs, and two bathrooms in their one house, haha. Although some people feel that they need to make it big to feel like they've accomplished something. Some people probably won't feel successful unless they've accomplished making the world know their name, their rich, or their famous, but do you think a person really needs these things to feel like they're successful in life?

Hi powerbrokenape, in my opinion, being successful is not only refer to the improvement of life which we can see from outside, like getting a bigger house, bigger & luxury car, etc. Try to imagine that, this family is getting rich, but at the same time they also getting lesser time to meet up each other and cause the relationship worse than before. In this case, we can't categorized it as successful already. To me, i will think that being successful is i can achieve my goal and there are improvement on my daily life like i can get a better (not really bigger) house for my family so that they can live more comfortable. Of course, i will wish that i still can allocate more time to accompany them :)
