it just made me think.. how one can be successful? or when to know when you are already one? one of my friend said to me the other day that i already achieve what i need to achieve i am already a successful person at a very young age., well maybe she is right i started to build my business when i was still in college i was 17years old then i put up my own online store then i get the chance to pay for my own tuition and at an early age gets and buys the things i want and need after college i didn't look for a job instead i pursue on my business and me myself could not believe that i was hitting my biz big time i got 3 tv featured on three different big networks here in Phil. i got resellers here in the country and outside the country also., right now i am 21years old ., yeah my friend is right i achieve more than what a 21year old could have or achieve., but for me being a successful person means hardships and always keep your feet on the ground and being contented., i know that everything i have now its because of GOD,family,friends,people i met as i venture with my business and myself as well.
being contented and learning to look back with people who helped you through out your life is a success.

One can define success the way it better suits them.
In your case, if you think you've achieved it because of your business and that it seems everything is doing well, then that might be it.
But then again you might be too young to know how to get up from failure and find out how difficult can it be to be succesful after that, that would be an accomplishment many believe it's what proves a person's fortitude.
I personally know people that for them, success means simply get up in the morning and be able to reach a chair to sit because they're physically disabled, or be able to see their son win a sports tournament for youngsters with special needs.
Regardless, congratulations on your current success, but don't draw the line there. There should be a long path in your life which hopefully you can learn from in several aspects that can help you understand that maybe success doesn't have to do anything with money.

Hi heart! First of all I would like to congratulate you for the success of your online business. I also had that business but I stopped it because I didn't have a chance to focus on it. Anyway, I agree with the last two sentences of what you have said. Everything is because of God. Success is very subjective. One who has a lot of things might think that he is not successful while the one who has a few thinks he is already successful. It depends on a person's contentment in life. I guess, for us to be able to be contented we must bring Jesus Christ to our hearts.

Success is not something to easily achieve. you have to have the confidence and determination to see your dreams through. that's when success is most possible and the most fulfilling.

For me to be called successful means, you have achieved your goals or satisfied with the results in the way he/she planned it.I congratulate you too for the success of your business.Interest, hard work and focus are some keys to become a successful person.

I think people that do what they love never fail as they never stops.
I was watching Whale Wars like the best tv show ever! And Captain Paul Watson is the kind of man that will never give up on what he wants, everyone tried what only he could because if he stops what he is doing he says he really don't know what else to do. He achieve what other tried for 30 years and never could, he makes a big difference in the world and is the example of what courage is about.

No one can exactly define what success means, for it differs from each person. But to be successful depends on your attitude. Life is not easy, some even say it's not fair. There will always be ups and downs, even the richest of the world feels unhappy and unsatisfied. The real challenge is how to get through life regardless of all the roadblocks. If you don't have the right attitude in life, you will never succeed. First have a goal, then start doing something about it. Success is something that makes one person happy and satisfied. it might not be about work, but it's definitely about living a happy life.
