What does it really take to be called successful? Is it money, fame, fortune?
For me success is acceptance and having the feeling of being content, even if you don't have much money or you dont live in a mansion.
Success isn't measured my monetary gain or wealth, those are just the tip of the iceberg.
Love and family bonds, your love for your husband, your sacrifices for your children, your tears for your friend.... those feelings, those for me are a sign that I succeeded truly on something.

Success is something different to each person. For me, it's just being happy and doing work that matters in the world. That's all I want out of life. A pretty small thing to want, huh?

for me success together with contentment and satisfaction is the major factor to called successful. it not measured by how much one earns, buy how much he invested, or by how much his bank account is. success means is by how much he had offered to his fellow men whether family, friends, and to the people around him.
you can be achieved everything that you want to with full determination but without the people around you, i think its useless.

Success means an actualization of one's desires, aims, objective or goals. It is a dream fulfilled. For as long as we have different kinds and scales of desires, aims, objectives, goals and dreams, success will mean different things to different people.
The true meaning of success is the grace of being content with the outcome of one's conscientious aspirations and efforts. Success is an elastic concept. Only those with the grace of contentment feel it.

For me everyone has their own definition of success and I have defined it for me as well. Can't share it here.
