I learned a lot from a friend being successful in different aspect of his life as a journalist, as supervisor and now as an entrepreneur... he said it's like constructing a building " the height of a building will depend on how deep is its foundation".. you cannot build a skyscraper type of building with a foundation as deep as 10ft.. Same as in success whatever field it is... you have to build a foundation first and how big your goal is.. that's how persevere you are to be.. if you want to be the best Manager.. study more on how to handle people and the field of your desired business.. in the bible it says " faith without work is dead" James 2:26.. have that BIG dream.. you'll need to have MORE effort working for it.... Equip yourself.. Discipline yourself... Work with Excellent!... Because God is an excellent God.. We must do everything as if we are doing it for God not for men... Share your thoughts.. God bless.

success is reaching whatever goal you have set and sharing it with your family and friends. And success is always being thankful of what God gives us no matter how small it is.

i define success as being happy with the achievements in my life. my children and my dreams and goals of the future define the success i have come to know. it is not all about money and power to be succcessful.

Some people define success as achieving your dreams and becoming wealthy. Some say you are successful when you are already the most powerful man on Earth. Some would say that success is equivalent to happiness. For me, success is all about contentment and happiness. I believe a person could say s/he is successful only when s/he had already done the things that s/he want to do in his/her life, I do not care whatever those things maybe as long as a person would be happy doing these. There are so many definitions of the word success but its real meaning depends upon us.

Hi, to be honest, I have given this some deep thought quite a few times myself. For everyone, life changes and its hard to determine such a vague word like 'success'. However, I HAVE came to the conclusion that success comes from within! It's not neccessarily having a good job and earning loads of money, but carrying out your dreams and aspirations. I believe success is acheiving what you want in life, a goal if you will. And as your friend said, you must work for success. God bless :)

No one can define your success only by yourself. Although sometimes others would have a feeling that you are successful, you are the only person to answer if that is true or not. For me, i always think that success is kind of a self-consiciousness that is influenced by one's character, personality and the environment he grew up or other experiences, if you set a goal in a low place or even no goals at all but still feel successful ,then you are successful. Why not, who can define it for you cuz its your own fate of which no one can take control.

You are right.Being successful in a profession is really valuable,but my experience is that you can't be successful only by working hard.Luck plays an important role in your success.I had once watched a leading industrialist saying on the tv that he owes 99% of his success to his hard labor and only 1% to luck,but,he added,without that 1% of luck the 99% of his hard labor would have gone futile.I agree with him.
In my opinion,if you are happy with your profession or your work,you are successful.

Thanks a ton for your valuable response. Well the definition of success differs from person to person. For me success is not when people start running after u for autographs or photographs but it is when u are the most satisfied with your work and u have satisfied your near and dear ones with the same also. It is the ultimate bliss that cannot be put into words.
What say?

Success is the ability to live your life the way you want to live it, doing what you most enjoy, surrounded by people you admire and respect. In a larger sense, success is the ability to achieve your dreams, desires, hopes, wishes, and goals in each of the important areas of your life.

Success is the result or achievement of an aim. It depends on how you worked hard for every goal you wish to achieve. Just focus on your dreams, and ask God for guidance. There's nothing impossible with Him. :)
