Successful people got where they are now because they worked hard for it, and became rich and famous. Some of them went from rags to riches.
Some became successful because of being passionate to a particular interest that lead them to become triumphant, others became successful because they wanted to become rich and worked hard to attain it.
Famous artists became successful for their passions, famous actors and actresses, as well as singers and dancers who became successful in their career path. Wealthy businessmen had given their best and worked hard to be successful, as well as the politicians and the professional ones. They all worked hard to achieve success.
Becoming successful means sharing something to others, that's what some successful people do. So they donate money to charities and other organizations as a way of helping others because they themselves has nothing before they attain success.
In your opinion, does success in life means money? Share us your thoughts.

I think successful people share more than money.
They motivate and they inspire millions of people everyday.
Everyone knows about Apple, and Steve Job.
Even if we do not use iphone or get monetary assistance from him, we still get inspired by the experience of Steve Job.

Money is part of life. But, money is not life. Money can never define your success. Twenty years ago, your success might be to get $2000/ month. Ten years ago, you might have been happy with $5000/ month. But, today, you may not feel happy with that money.
It keeps changing. So, you can never be content with money. So, you will always find short of success if you keep money as the defining criteria for your success.

Success in life doesn't mean only money. It means accomplishing a goal. Getting a diploma, passing an exam or getting promoted are all examples of success.

That's interesting.. We might consider these folks successful, but I wonder if they consider themselves successful. In my opinion, success is what you define for yourself personally, as opposed to any external images of success.
Example: A priest might consider himself successful when he looks at his congregation..
But he by no means fall into our "iconic image" of success.

I think money is just one of the elements of success but most people are often using it to measure one's success or status in life. I remember reading or hearing from somewhere that "Don't ever choose a multi-million business meeting over your child's special events. Your business partners will forget about the meeting after a week or month, but your child will always remember for the rest of his life." So I say that in addition to money or wealth, successful person must also have a healthy relationships, body, and most important spiritually. This is what being taught to us by a club I have joined years ago. Guiding us not only to become wealthy rich but better being Truly Rich. :)

No success is not all about money. I believe it is being able to reach a point when you feel you have done the best for yourself and for others.

well money making is not how sucessful you are in life , well try to do some thing good and help full to others and you will be sucessessful in life but fact today i can say is how much money you have with you and how rich can you be is what people call sucess.
but my view is you take up some task which you have to complete , which is some what imposible and you have to make it possible , there is nothing that is imposible in life it is how you think and make it possible so if you can achieve what is your goal then you are a sucess full person

Money only may not be success. But success lies in happiness, where money plays major part.
When we couldn't give what our loved ones want, how can we be happy?
Just try to keep the joy spreading, at least we can be partly successful. If we try to limit ourselves within our family we miss the "joy" part. Joyful life is successful life, at least for me.

being successful doesn't always lead to financial wealth however most times they do go together. I think donating can be a way to help others and give back but the majority of the time it isn't for that reason. Most times its because it is a tax write off,it looks good in the public eye and it is something that benefits them in the end. However to the people in need don't usually question the donations givers motives for the donation

I think the trick is to work smarter, not harder - we all know plenty of very hard workers who don't have much to show for their efforts. Money doesn't necessarily mean success in life, because earning it often requires sacrifice of some sort or another.
