everyone has different goals and aims. everyone has different perceptions for being successful. what it is you want to accomplish before claiming that you were successful. I'll be successful when i surpass my father cause he went ahead of grandpa and i want to do the same.

As far as I'm concerned I have already passed my Father in term of success. But I think that's not what the main goal in Life that I have set years ago. Because we started out as a poor family some peoples might think that having money is the main goal. But after I had some enlightenment years ago those kind of thing does not tend to be the main reasons anymore because believe it or not money will always follow if you already had a peace of mind. So easily speaking my current goal is to spread what I have been given by peoples who loves me back anyway I can.

Everyone of us has our own definition of being successful. Different aims, methods and etc. Well, I'll be successful if I'll be able to publish a book with my name on it as the author and to have a publishing house/company that will named after my late grandfather. We dreamed of it together! :)

I will first tell what is NOT a success, for me. Just Making Money is NOT a success in my view. For me, in my life, success is to realise the variety of dreams I have nurtured for so long since my school days. One of them is to work for environmental conservation and to set up a not-for-profit organisation that would work for this purpose through eco-friendly business.

yes, when a son surpasses his father in terms of achievement, it is a matter of pride to both the son and the father :) I wish you all the best and hope you will make your father proud :)

Hi, I think there is no definite definition of success. It differs from individual to individual. Some people feel successful when they get more and more money, some may feel successful in love and so on. We should not compare ourselves with others. For getting success we should try to perform better and better and try to achieve goals without fear of failure.

I will be successful when I am able to become clinical psychologist and start helping people with mental problems. This is my dream and I work hard to make it come true. I think that the feeling of success comes when we achive our goals.

but if you are always satisfied there is no chance of getting better. i like to challenge myself always and ask myself if i can do better.
