What does Success mean to you ? how does one achieve it ?

For me being successful is doing great in your chosen career. You may start to being a rank and file employee then reach the managerial position. That for me is already being successful. If you also have a family of your own and having a happy married life then you balance it with your great career then consider yourself being successful as well.

To me, success is making a positive impact on the world, and being satisfied with what you have accomplished. Also, if you are truly successfull, you will be happy with who you are and what you are doing.

hi kiran madam, really it is right according to me also,what you have said,but in my view and all other business people's success is growing the business and earning money,but money earning is common factor to everybody,my too also my success is independently online earning should be 200 dollars per month,and for all of us peacefull living also some what success to our life,have a nice day

So very true that defining "success" successfully is not that easy. The closest that I can go about in defining Success is - Success is something about achievement. Now what is that "something" is relative and subjective from person to person. Many weigh it on monetary terms and some base it on other grounds. Personally I feel that anything that makes me feel happy and contended is success for me. I do not weigh success on monetary terms, I weigh it on providing happiness to others without hurting my sentiments and principles.

Success is a feeling and a state of mind to me, you have to feel it if you want to acheive it, otherwise you lose your way and your priorites become rearranged and you may even become disengaged. We have to have something that drives, put an image to success what does YOUR success look like its it a runner crossing the finishline, is it a builder building his wall of success, is he a swimmer diving into tasks and racing to complete them. Thats what success is to me being in a state of mind, where you look at everything and see the potential for a successful outcome.

My "yard stick" for success, would have to be the expression on my face at the end of the day... I guess you could call it inner peace. If I have had a successfull day, even if it only means finishing up the chores around the house that I have been putting off, I feel content. I feel that the small successes are just as important as the large ones, and are usually easier to obtain. Also, if I leave this world having changed it for the better, even in just some small way, I would call my life a success.

Ya indeed, there are different yardsticks that people use to measure success with. But for me success means to achieving something that I want to. And if you toil hard to get that in real sense then no one in this world can stop you from doing that. But your effort must be sincere and more importantly the things that you want to achieve must be genuine. You have to have all your resources and energies towards that end. You must thing about that every moment. You must feel guilty if you lose any moment in doing things that do not lead you towards that goal. That goal must come to you in your dreams. Well if you do that you will have things under your control and get what you want. After that you will taste the sweet pill of success.

Hi Kiran Its nice to know that you are not too ambitious LOL coz I’m like that too!!! Sometimes I feel that I’m too lazy to have run around all the time, but mostly I feel it was lack of planning at proper time. Anyways, no use crying over spilt milk…and then, when I see couples of my age running after money and career and success, I must say it’s a scary scenario. Maybe they are more super-humans than me but I do think that somewhere down the line, they are compromising for it somehow and usually that somehow is either family time or health or personal peace. There is actually no end to our wanting…so success can never be completely achieved…the key lies in being happy with what little we have and try and make the best out of it. In that sense, I must say that I’m successful…with an average job (& average pay, I must add)…I still have some good hours to spend with my son regularly (his studies and games and all), I can personally look after my family needs, take small vacations, little moments of happiness … and I feel really content with life. However, I must add that the fruit is the real identity of the quality of the plant and so I’ll be really successful if I can manage to make a good human being of my son AND of course guide him properly to his future career.

Success is how we see the goals in our lives being met. We all measure success differently. Achieving it can take no time at all or it can take a lifetime. The best way to get success from our lives is to do our best at everything. What we may not see as success, someone else will.

I see success in everything I do, no matter how insignificant that task may be - to state a few - a rose cutting that starts getting red leaves, when my pet responds to orders, when the chapati that I try to fry (no good at it) fluffs up!, when I am able to upload html content here on my profile page!, when I get connected on the phone after my umpteenth attempt, which means I smell success every moment of the day

To me, a success means when I achieved what I intended to have and to do. So for me there are many successes in my life, when I was able to graduate from college with good mark, when I was able to get a good job, when I can go overseas with my own money (not business trips), when I finally dated the guy I had been loving to from a far, etc. I am not so ambitious, either. I just go with the flow.
