Do you consider yourself as a Successful Person?

My greatest achievement so far, was and is learning to respect myself the way I am. So that I could respect others better too. This is a working from the inside out, that a person needs to work on every day. (well I do) But, I don't consider myself successful yet. But, I am working on it, hahaha! One day it will happen. Take care, happy mylotting.

hi mylotters,in as far as success in life is concerned i could say that im a successful person in a sense that when i finished my studies and land a job was one of my greatest achievement , secondly when my children become professionals and having their own career is another greatest achievement that happens to me . though our status in life is just an average level but i have no regret , in fact im so thankful to have them and considered them as the greatest gift given to me by god. Finally,having a happy family is the greatest success in life that i have to consider. happy mylotting

hello my friend yes, i do consider myself as a successful person although im not that rich or whatever but 50%of my life was succeeded and i owe it to GOD my greatest dream is to become a mother and raise a beutiful kids and i can proudly say i made it..thanks for this discussion..have a nice day

I was actually doing pretty well at the start of 2008. I had a pretty good job, and was managing to make a little progress towards getting out of debt. Unfortunately, I was the victim of a business scam that ended up costing me $13,000 and my career. I have had to make arrangements to pay the money back to the bank, and I am working for a very nominal wage in a restaurant during he evenings. I am looking for a second job that I can do during the day, but I am not having any luck. I don't know what is going to happen, but I am just trying to make it from one day to the next right now. Hopefully, I will find more work soon. Maybe then I can get things back on track...

Based on my definition of successful, no, not even close. For me to be "successful," I would be making a living as a writer, instead of pocket change/coffee money. I would be happy and stable in a relationship with a fella who is my best friend (and who is also happy and stable in our relationship). I would not be struggling paycheck to paycheck but would instead have a savings account with at least four digits in the balance rather than two.

as of now, i dont consider myself as a successful person... for me a successful person is someone who is independent and gives great influence to others... but of course we all want to be successful... yet, it is hard to get there... i want to be successful person also... i want to be remembered by people around me as a successful person.. and look up to me as a role model..

I'm not as successful as I want to be. I don't think anyone ever truly is. I'm doing fine in the employment department. I've been employed in one job for 1 year and one day. It ended in October, because the company opted to restructure. I had another job, too, but that non-profit ran out of money. I just got hired by a magazine and applied for a fellowship at a local college combining poetry and health education. On the personal life front, I'm so single it hopeless. I'm hoping to find someone in '09. The thing I'm most proud of is that I've finally taking my writing seriously. It's always been important to me, but in 2008 and 2009 it's finally moving in a moving in a positive economic direction. Thanks in no small way to a law getting changed.

Well, before I check and announce publicly I must peep into the goal and achievement that I had set and received respectively. So far my goal in my life, I always wanted to be a college lecturer and this thing started growing larger since my high school days. After I completed my post graduation and got the University Grants Commission set norm to become a college lecturer I became one and one thing I am still to get my Phd and this is on the process. So far I consider myself a successful person without any heartburn as such.
