how do you consider your self successful?

in any field,...i consider myself successful if i can provide my family's needs and wants.

There are many measures of Success. Like, the world or your dependents would measure your success by looking athow much you are sought after by people in general and how well you can provide their needs, respectively. To neither of them-- the world at large or your own small world of close people is, how you feel about success, important. Sadly. But, IMO, one must first evaluate one's personal satisfaction about success. This is not to belittle the general public's measure of success. Thus, I would say, Success for me has to do with what I call as [B]self-satisfaction[/B]. I take this to true, with respect to career or personal life too. Like in my career, and by that I mean professional career-- success for the external world is measured by how high I rise in the heirarchy. But, I would feel having been successful, if, I accomplish a task in the srea of my work to my satisfaction and that happens to be a standard by which others reckon, as the right way to accomplish that task. For me,[B]Success would be measured by the amount of innovation and creativity[/B]I bring to my job. Of course one cannot just ignore the visible marks of this accomplishment being recognised by peers and superiors in the form of promotions and by being sought after for more challenging tasks. Now, the real problem starts when you are not able to perform,[B]what you enjoy doing [/B]{that incidentally happens to be another measure of success for me- I mean I get to do what I enjoy doing for a living) to also go with the organizational goals. That is when you are forced to seeks other avenues of quenching your desire to perform exemplarily.

Focus, smartwork and perseverance are the keys for success.
