what is your attitude towards success?

Tweet

We always judge how successful a person is by the wealth he possesses or the social position he owns. This notion has always been existed ever since there was social classes among people. And it seems that it is still deepening. I think it's time to change our attitudes. Just take a brief view of those rich emperors in ancient times. They were born with glorious title and incredible fortune. Some of these rulers spent the tremendous riches of the country living in luxury and forgot about their people. Do you think they are successful just because they are rich and powerful? On the other hand, success can be measured by wealth and social position. Poor workers work hard to get to the top position in a company; persons without academic degrees use their intelligence and diligence to invent certain things and become famous inventors. We can't deny that they are successful. We can also see many many people who are successful in certain fields but appear to be poor and powerless. Madam Curie won two Nobel Prizes, but her life remained plain. In her late years, she even presented the medals she won to her grandchildren as toys. Not mentioning the famous musician Schbert who died almost a beggar. For them, fame never came the first in their life. From all the above, we can draw conclusion that wealth social position is not necessarily the main factors to judge whether a person is successful or not.
