Success means different things to different people...

Hi Karen! You are right everyone one has different meaning of 'success'. For many, it is power, money or fame. Some of the people do not feel happy, even after abundance of wealth. There is no end to greed, but one needs to make a full stop at some point of time. I think the one who feels contended with whatever he has achieved in his life, should be termed as a successful person. I consider myself a successful person because me and my better half have 'secured' jobs, we earn substantial amount to sustain our life. Also, we are blessed with a son and a daughter ( a complete family) and we live in our own house and able to run the show without any glitches.

I think i am succesful, i have raised two sons by myself, own my home, car is paid off & i'm still kicking after having some serious health problems. don't have alot of money but i am surviving so that's good. alot of people wouldn't think they were sucessful if they lived my life style but i feel very blessed.

For me being successful is having a good marriage, a good place to live, having my family near me and being content with what I have. I've never wanted the mansions, tons of money, exotic vacations and all that...it just seems like a waste. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Hey, Yes success for many people out their is different for every single person that lives out their in this world. Some people think that having money will make them succeed, while others think differently. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

HI Friend, For me success is mantle satisfaction. When you feel satisfied after doing something or achieving something then you are successful. IT can be anything, a good job, a huge amount of money or just making a cup of tea...any thing

Success is different from one to another .Someone set a small goal for themselves ,while others have a big goal.No matter the goal is small or big ,If they realize their goal ,it means a success for them.

I don't consider myself succesful now, only partial successful as I'm not yet able to do what I want to do and achieve. I have a list of things that I want to achieve, and I work hard toward it. It not easy, but I will try. But I'm thankful for where I am now. I have a stable job and now I able to pay my loan without depending on my parents, a friend who trust me and a loving family. I'm afraid once I said I'm successful, I stop working and satisfy with what I have, so I prefer to say, I'm thankful for where I am now, and looking forward to do more. Happy Mylotting

For me success does not mean having a lot of money or a high position in society. I consider a person successful if he is doing what he loves to do and he is happy and contented with his life. If he is able to reach his goals for himself and his family, that is success.

Hi Karen.....I believe that one is successful as long as they have met all the goals they set for themselves. As for me..I believe my life was very successful, not in monetary value but in love and having my children. A parent can always say they have been successful if their children have remembered the values they were taught as children and have started instilling these values in their own children. You cannot always measure success by how much you have in life, but what you have done with what you were given. flutterby

I think success means acheiving your dreams and accomplishing your goals. I think I'm successful, I finished high school and I'm going to University.

I think it would be best to consider success from a societal perspective. To put it succinctly, success is achieved when an individual contributes to and improves society more than he or she receives from it. According to this def, I don't believe I am successful as of now, but I hope to be in the future!

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

Just a thought.....success is relative and depends on one's frame of mind. I consider somebody successful if he has somebody to share his success with otherwise all those things he has successfully done are all in vain.
