How Do You Measure Success?

Success in the very first place is immeasurable. Using measurements may only limit your abilities to succeed. Thus, aiming for success should come with versatility and readiness to face the challenges even if it breaks your world apart. By there and then, even if in the eyes of many people you have lost the game, the idea of fighting itself is a success which only a few can measure and acknowledge. And be tough, because after the sweet defeat comes a bigger challenge which everyone would thought you would lose again but it's time for tables to turn.

For me measuring success would depend on the assets that you acquire like house, land, car, jewelries, business, travel and stocks investment. That was my thinking before, but you can also be successful in your own little home, like have a good relationship with family and kind and nice kids. Without having those assets you can be also successful.

It goes this way there friend, there are several people think of fame and fortune when they measure success. However, at some point in life, most people come to realize that inner peace and soul-deep satisfaction come not from fame and fortune, but having lived a life based on integrity and noble character. Remember “Honor is better than honors.” as what the past president says.

Success is something that I do not think I could manage. As is failure in many ways. I mean, there could be times where I have dismally fallen on my face time and time again. However, that does not necessarily meant that I have failed. It only means that I have yet to succeed. I still have plenty of time to succeed and I can go back to the drawing board, to go onto the next thing in my day. I think that success is just trying sometimes. We can try a lot of the times and not come close. However if we learn something, that is success. There will be another day where I can step up and get things done to the level that I wanted it. I think in the end, life is a never ending learning process and even the greatest failure can be a partial success. For the reason that I learn something and can use it for my day to day life.

hell0 Holesworth! success!? well, how do I measure it- it is really a nice and interesting question and I think that I must think for a while about it, because I think it can be measured by several ways depending on that- what is actually success for us and also with which part of our life it is connected. first of all, I guess that we all know taht success in its first meaning is a success in the job or with some new beginning in our life- well, if so then I measure it for such only when I have acomplished my "mission" all the way- from the smallest to the biggest detail and then I ca say I have a success with it. for me success is also when some of ym dreams come true- and maybe this is one of the most greatest successes for me, because I really hold on my dreams and make everything possible to make them come true. Many people measure love like success too- when they find the right person whit whom to share their life and who will love the till the end of the days, people think then that they have had a great success and I guess it is really so, because what geratest success than that to find the love! So that's how I measure love and how it should be for me!

I think it all depends. Because you have a visible form of success, like money and cars. Then you have an invisible form of success, like for example, getting up on stage and not getting stage fright. For me, it was getting through my first offeratory at church. Playing the piano in front of everyone and not freezing when I made a mistake. So, in conclusion, it is up to the individual.

With smiles. Is the measuring unit for success, with an universal (worldwide) value. Succes either material or ideatic doesn't mean necesarilly reaching a certain goal or destination, but enjoying the ride to it.

I measure success on how well I have served the people who are coming to me. As a chef, by how satisfied they are with their meal. As a father, by how well my son lives, as a husband by how appreciative my wife is. As a professional network marketer and life coach, by how much I have improved the life of my client. With appreciation.

I would measure success on the degree of accomplishment of my intended purpose. However, my intended purpose might be for the fulfillment of my needs. I might set the goals according to my own narrow perspectives. May be I have set the goal according to my own acquired abilities. To most of the people success is earning enough money to support their family, to see them settled in life, and then enough to live comfortably after they retire. The real success lies in attaining the unattainable. It lies somewhere beyond the goal you have set for yourself. It lies beyond the point, which you cannot even imagine. To a poor man who cannot earn enough to meet his day-to-day needs, the real success would be to become president of his country. Therefore, the success is immeasurable. For success, there is no limit. The real success would be to reach a point, which you have not even set for yourself. You keep running towards it. Even after you have reached there, you feel you are still not successful. Whereas the others might say that, you have been successful.

Success can be measured by how happy and contented you are with your life and what you are doing, but you can always strive for more. Even if you are contented and happy with your current situation now you can still be more successful if you want to and this will already exceed your contentment and expectations making you feel overwhelmed with your achievements thus, exceeding your goals or being more successful in life.

Sorry to hear that holesworth. To your potential employers perhaps you could begin by saying when the company prospers and expands with more income coming in that would be success. Success for the company would be success for you too. Obviously you could elaborate on them. Anyway I personally feel that there is no one single yardstick to measure success. Success is such a relative entity. Success to one is not to another. There are many who equate success by paper qualification, a good paying job with a nice home and cars. There are others who measure by having conquered the highest peak or the deepest ocean. If you had ask a priest the answer would again be different. To a person on the street success could simply means having a place to stay with a family, have a job, have enough to eat with a little more to spend, no debts and the occasional holidays abroad. I'm just a layman, seeing all my children grow up with the best education possible, to see them happy and live their dreams is success to me.

Success can be measured subjectivly, that means it depends on what do you personally understand under success. But it cannot be meassured with numbers like an exact cience as mathematics. So everybody should ask first: what's success for me? In my opinion, success means to take the rains of your live, make some proposels what do you really want to do or to get in your live and fight for it. When you start to convert your dreams into reality, so you start to be succesfull and from there on you start to messure your success. Do you get or realize everything you want or only a part of all? How many do you reach? Six points over ten? So you already reached a sixty percent. So what's your proposel for live? Did you reach it already? And, for me, success is not material. It's more espiritual. You can work hard and save a lot of money so can buy an expensive car, a nice house... But you can fell ill and loose your job, you can have an car accident and loose your car, a hurracane or fire can destroy your house...obviously, we need a job and a house or an apartment where to live and plenty of things, but apart from this I prefer to study and to live my life. Because I never loose my experience neither my knowledge! And don't worry about that you didn't recieved this job you talked about. Maybe it wasn't for you since the beginning and yourse one is still waiting for you. So don't get disappointed and follow looking for another one which you will find hopefully soon.

Yea I don't believe you can base success on a scale. Success is weighed in so many ways depending ones interpretation of success. To me I feel most successful when I accomplish something that I have set out to do or do better than I thought I would on something. Something even as simple as turning 19 is a success to me. :) I have made it this far!
