What is the measurement of someone's Success???

That depends on one's opinion. For me, it's attaining that one mission God has made for you. The things you have mentioned are all part of success, they can be classified. I mean, the car and the mansion are part of financial success, and if a person sees that as his ultimate goal, then in his own eyes he is successful. If brains are all you are proud of, then it's the diploma that counts. Do we really need to measure success? If we're negative then we'd keep seeing the downside of things.. I think it's just playing your part that matters. :)

People always tend to relates money to success. I partially agree, but it not all about the money. For me, being success is having a free financial problem life, having control of yourself, you are respected by people and have a partner and friends too enjoy living.

Success cant be measured to me because its left to us to decide how successful we become.As i believe we all have our set goals,aims and aspirations.For example you want to become a doctor,have a successful practice,be married and have a family.After years of hard-work you have acquired those then of course you have been successful.Your goal is to be wealthy then as soon as you acquire your wealth you have now become a success.We are the ones who decide how successful we become.The only way we become a success is achieving what we have set ouselves to to achieve.Money dont determine that unless you set yourself to acquiring monetary success.

Success means different things to different people. However, the world's way of measuring success is by looking at your Bank Balance and secondarily, your Networth.There are those who measure success by one's popularity among the populace- for a non-celebrity this is measured by his/her popularity among his/her friends and acquaintances. In one way or the other people seek to convert their accessibility to people and/or resources to enhance their worth,in terms of increased possessions, increased influence. Well, one cannot grudge this, though it is woefully short of that most important component called happiness. Hence for me success is happening or has happened if I am [you are] able to do all the time or at least most of the time [B]things I [you] really love to do[/B]. It is not as simple- just because I said it in just half a sentence.To be able to "get there" I need to buy my leisure. In short on eneeds perhaps have all the things that you have enlisted before you have the wherewithal to "buy the leisure" that you need to pursue your love. One is fulfilled only if one is in pursuit of an Indescribable Love.

For me sucess is unmeasurable. I gives more importance to the quality of effort that someone done to help itself and other people who are in dire need of help. It's measure with the quality rather than the quantity. A person may be succesfull materially but not emotionally.

Hi jlovetin, For me it is someone that understands that family, friends and personal growth are the only meaningful measuring sticks of success in and of our lives. And most importantly an individual that understands we are all responsible for our own happiness . . Happy Lotting to you and may you find happiness and success in all that you do

I believe that you can consider yourself to be a success if you're happy with your life. Early on you set goals and work towards achieving them. Once you have, and if you find satisfaction in what you're doing and how you're living, then you're successful regardless of how much money you have or what kind of lifestyle you're living. Happiness comes from within.

for me, success in different areas warrant different attitudes toward looking whether you succeeded or not. economic success to me is when i do not have to worry about money at all but that doesnt mean i need to own a luxurious car or big mansion although if i want one, i will be able to get one. that is financial success to me. in terms of success in life, it simply means having a close knitted family and being able to see the world and meet the global citizen.

As you've said there are so many ways in which people measure success, the main being money!!! Ok I can understand that having worked your way to a positions whereby you earn good amounts of money and can afford a big house, nice cars etc is clearly a sign of financial sucess for me it is a bit hollow as it doesn't really say anything about the person you are. For me, I like to look at the whole person to see if they are sucessful as there are, in my opinion, a lot more important things than money! I looke to see if they have a good work/life balance, after all what good is plenty of money if you are working all the hours God sends? For me wotk should be the thing that enables you to have the life you want, it shouldn't become your life. I firmly believe in the old adage, Work to Live don't Live to Work!!! For me the most sucessfull person is the one who is happy in what they do, who has times for friends and family and is able to enjoy life with what they have even if they have nothing in terms of material goods.
