Many people have different ideas of what it means to be successful. Sometimes this means money, knowledge, prestige, or happiness. What is success to you?

Well, I believe in Western civilization many people view success as material, (e.g. money, nice house, nice cars etc.) But I personally believe that success cannot only be measure with those gauges. If you making a difference in your community, town, city or even just in your part of the neighborhood, I believe you are sucessful.

Yeah I think you're right that material things are often over-emphasized. But I don't really put much of a priority on giving back to my community personally. I think I'd be more concerned with the relationships in my life or enjoying what I do for a living or something.

I think being successful is like we already achieve our goals in our life. For me, I can say that i'm successful person when already see my kids finish and graduate in school and to see them having a good jobs. But now I think i'm also a successful as a mother, wife, and daughter for my family because even I don't have a job now, I prepare everything they need in their school and work, I prepare their meal, and they are healthy.

Success has no limit no boundary. We feel successful when we complete a tough task and do a tough job. Success is a thinking of our mind that feel(make) us relax when
we go through a gr8 trouble ever.... So success is a gr8 feeling.

Well success is not in 100% or numbers, its all in the satisfaction of your effort and giving a good fight.
