These days i have been thinking over a question: what is success. Then what is a real success? Making a lot of money? Enjoy a good reputation? Many people in China would think those who possess money and power are successful. Of course you are really successful that your acheivement is admitted by many people. But what if you make some achievement but are admitted by a few? Can you be viewed as successful? My dear mylotters, please show me your opinion about this topic

Hi, When a person has no money, success means having lots of it and more. If a person has lots of money, success means living a very simple life, away from it all. It may sound weird but that is what I have observed. People with no money striving day in, day out to have it only to go somewhere else quiet, like a mountain resort or a jungle, spending it on the way there.

I think it is natural for those rich people to spend their life in a quiet place. They have enough money not to strive for it. The only thing they want to do is to enjoy life more.

Succes for me is goal's achievement in your very own way and of course, in the good process. Goal achievement but if it achieved by doing bad things intentionally is not succes.

Success is the goal of my life too. I am struggling to realize it. Though it is not easy, but I will try my best!

Actually it is a good question. It depends on person to person. There are different definitions and opinions for the success.Success meets when an opportunity meets preparation.Success is the flow of water which passes through the road of rocks.The harder i work the more luck is seen to have.Do one thing at a time with supreme excellence.Keep eye on many but thought on only one.

Success is a subjective and objective word to be defined. People have different point of view when it comes to success as well as society. Each of us have our own way of defining what success is.,for me a successful life is a life in line with God. That's a broadest definition I can define. Another is a successful life is achieving happiness. But, this definition could not be considered as a successful one in society. Society, viewed a successful person as having almost everything and thus having a fame. That's how they viewed a success! the answer of this question ambiguous for success is too wide and too deep to be measured individually.

Success to me is being successful as a person. Financial success is part of that success but not everything. Success as a person is becoming the best that I can be. I do think that a person at his/her best is someone who is considerate of others. So, charity and giving back is when a person is most successful. They have so much in abundance, that they want to give back.

Hi,friend~ Don't make things that complaticated. In my opinion, success means that you have a dream and you have been trying to fulfil the dream and finally, on day, the dream come true... eg. once upon,your dream was to be an intepreter, and after hard work,your are! and you did and will go on doing very well in your career...then,you suceed!

Success is happiness, and money is second. Ok the really success is come from our family, what do you thiink if we have a lot of money but we are alone, so family is the place where we must come back, then the second if money, money is important , without money we can't give our family the best, money needs for education, for healty, for everything in our life, but don't deny our family just for money.
