I know there are a lot of definition out there, but I really would like to know your definition of sucess. Some people said that being successful is associated with having all the luxuries in the world: your dream house, dream car, dream job, big savings, etc. I'm curious I'd really like to know what's yours. :)

Hi antiquelady, Wow, what a brave woman you are. I think you're really a courageous woman. You've raised up two boys on your own and you've managed so far. Yes, I think you're, indeed, successful.

success on my view is to be able to live a contented life without greed or regrets or without wants or shortage either materially physically or mentally.I mean to say that,a mentally,physically and economically sufficient life.

I would settle for being successful in my farm and being able to harvest my bananas. I have failed in some but I just keep on going. Cheers!!

To me, success is not just feeling like I have accomplished something, but knowing that I have! Success is not just about material wealth, but it's also about how much you learn in the process. Success is all about gaining momentum in life, learning more and more and becoming more flexible and open-minded with time. Success is not just about achieving goals, it's about setting more goals after the ones you have achieved that are more difficult than the last set. Success is about believing in yourself and helping others to do the same!
