What is your idea of being successful?

Hi Euridicy, That's one of the main reasons I detest Facebook. Too many people are trying too hard to "Keep up with the Jonses'" that I find it amusing and sad at the same time. Materialistic things aren't everything, while it's nice to have, you really shouldn't flaunt it like its the best things since sliced bread. That's not being successful, that's being ignorant and selfish. My idea of being successful reclines to working hard to get what you want. With me, I want to be an online entrepreneur. I know I won't get where I want to overnight. It's going to take hard work and dedication to do that, among everything else in life.

Hi there Euridicy1984! I do not think anyone can have a gauge on how successful a person is because what we can only see is what other people are showing us. Also, one's perspective about success may vary from other people's. About sharing things on Facebook, well, people use it to update their friends about what's happening in their life, and of course, most of them would like to share the positive ones. If people on Facebook will just choose to add friends who really cares about them, and what's happening with their life without being judgmental, I do not think people will complain about one person posting about positive things all the time or the achievements that they attain, and on in contrast, about other people who always post about their problems.

I believe that there are a lot of people that think the amount of money and the number of toys that they have is the only way that they can mark success in their lives. However, I am not one of those people. I consider myself to be successful because of the fact that I have two beautiful children that are smart and should be able to achieve everything that they want to have in their lives. I also think that I am successful because I have a car to drive and a roof over my head. In the society that we are living in today, there are a lot of people that don't have those simple things.

Being successful have different meaning to every person. There are things being successful in love, being successful in career and so on. Being successful may mean being happy and contented. This is how I feel. being successful shouldn't always mean being financially stable. There are financially wealthy people but are not happy because they have no kids or some are just so burn out

It is when you've accomplished something that you've really dreaming of. :)

I would consider someone successful not through the material things that he possess. If you're happy with your achievement and what you have is what you really dream off regardless of what kind of things do you have then you're successful. Having a good relationship with your family or a stable romantic relationship can be consider a successful life if it's what you're dreaming to achieve. So forget about those status in your facebook because boasting about their success will not do them any good, but you will be challenge by it and someday you will find your own success meaning what makes you happy.

FOR me to have a small home to have a stable job and to live with serving and worshipping God. for me is already a success. because it is my complete happiness.

Successful is being happy of what you do, what you have. If you're happy of you have right now your successful.
