In our society, How is success measured?

You are very right. Family will always be there when know one else is around. And family will always be there. My family has always been there for me. Through good times and bad.

hi strawberry, Yup, money does not synonymous to being happy as it is feel inside that counts with a lot of satisfaction by being contented and not to expect too much may even lead to disappointment if the goal is not meet. Family is a strong defense and they will always be around when all your friends forsake you they would always be around to help anytime you need them. thanks.

thanks.. Yeah, family should be the top priority when everyone you know disregards you with family around you would never be dismay...

yeah, that is also my wish..goodwill to all and have a safe days ahead..

hi hagirl, That so sad but it is the truth most of the times. People are so judgmental they likely measures success to what you gain and not on one you feel which is a very shallow definition of success. success is only a sate of mind and how a person feel to live with it and be happy in simplicity. thanks.

One thing about it I am successful and hope to become more. I hope more mylotters are successful as I am with their family and friends.

hi lakota, Yup, money is a material things need by every one of us to buy all the things we need to make life one comfortable but does not mean having enough or least is the ultimate measurement of happiness. As being happy could be through simplicity, becoming more natural and with enough sense of calmness having inner peace is the most important of all to consider for every one to be happy. thanks

My family adn I got along on love alot of times when the money wasnt plentiful!

I do appreciate family who have the same attitude like yours family..Happy being together..Have a nice day!

Yup, so there's no definite success to things and life, for everybody has got different perception to it

yeah..it is how one live to the fullest as what he/she think deeply satisfy in her/his own pursuits...

hi kun, Yup..and most people judge a person success with lots of properties, investment on his listing... coupled with lots of influential friends and business partner as well.. That is being dignified, morally correct and could leave a great legacy even for his family to be proud of after one have gone... well..i do believe every one have their own unique characteristics different from the other have their own definition of success as the way they perceive it as they itself experience...

I agree with you, friend. Most wealthy people does not contented on what they got in life even their wealth is enough for them to live a life until the end of their lives. Therefore, we can say that their success is conditional...

Most especially when they are down or their business broke down...

hi aerous, Yeah, and those things you mention also mean success is not measurable it should be unconditional most of the times. As being wealthy does not mean you are successful as in simplicity and what you feel inside which matter most of the times not being feel empty. thanks.

you are very much welcome

hi rachelle, Yeah, that true many shares the same sentiments and I too learn that success comes to those who try hard and explore a lot of opportunities never to dilly dally as in having priority in life one could feel successful even the absence of too much wealth as long as one need to feel alright within one self it would still be okay. Then, it is also important that to be successful one need to deal with a lot of setbacks and challenges. As a matter of fact worth a lot of perseverance need to work hard in order to fulfill one dream and then to become patience again until you obtain the things which you like. You could be successful when you feel happy, calm and with inner peace within yourself as you do the things you like according to your conscience never to trample other people just to obtain the things you desire. I think it is best to live each day as it is your last then have to be kind and treat your family rightly before you need to prioritize other people like your work or other things. The family need to be the source of joy and it would only be good if you need to balance all things then feel successful also when you are able to gain your work in a fair way then save a lot for the future. So that when their is an emergency you could help your family and help them in all of their needs. The feeling itself of being able to help is a success itself.

Excellent advice-You are a very knowledgeable person..I'm glad I got a chance to talk to you!

Agreed, being runner ups really doesnt mean they lost everything. Its kinda associated with what we have been discussing in your other discussion with the topic of being second place. It is all about what they have gained from the experience and not about what they lost. Success is subjective after all.^_^

yeah, that very true, everyone have potential it is just the time doesn't cooperate and time would comes one shine one would be rewarded.. that the very essence keeping the experience and never give up. yeah, entirely!

hi bj, That is probably many people have perceive to be as a pre-cursor of success as per see by the media and the entertainment industry. Though, the real success for me is render as something settle as a mere symbol status of prestige and power as the society admire those person who are able to bask on being a self proclaim achiever guarantee a lot of praises and also invites a lot of criticism as well. In a deeper sense a person becomes successful when he feel inner peace and happiness toward simple achievement be it great or minor accomplishment as long as it is gain through fair ways as being successful becomes nothing when a person accomplish it through force and due to the help of influential person not merely from her own hard work for me is a superficial success. Like what you mention accomplishment is a great feeling being able to surpass challenges then end up as the ultimate winner just like a race in a competition. There gonna end up with a winner and a loser though a runner up as well. Though, their may only be one winner it does not mean that the runner up goes to go with nothing as they also make a try which also worth of the praises as they accomplish to finish the tracks in a specified time though the competitor is more advance but as a participants learn more knowledge and exposure the next time it would be serve as a guide and inspiration to meet the goals. Those I should say the successful person are those who experience failures and out of it raise as a mightier one from his worthy struggles.

hi canellita, yup, i do agree with you the definition of success varies depending on the individual person sense of accomplishment and fulfillment then she undergone just to reach the pinnacle of her goals..

hi happy, yeah, that is also what i notice some judge an individual success through what the eyes could not see not knowing what the person thinking behind the physical

hi sunny, The more properties to boast the more perceive by the society as a successful person while few of it mean a person is penniless and under achiever which gives a different angle to the definition of success. Though, success may be interpreted in different forms as it seen and feel due to the influences of the media most people judge your worthiness with the things that surround you, the more the better person as you are being perceive is which is very true in today materialistic world. thanks for responding.

hi rg, That is also what I realize at the end of the day having accomplish all goals or left some to decay the only things which is left are no other than the family itself is a greater shelter of refuge. It is hard to be alone and left nothing good like having a good reputation legacy which could be left with out most pride as their are times those material wealth derails the main goals is to have a good , loving family who would care that gives joy as accomplishment and amount of success is nothing if their is no one to be share of those things are better of to give than to keep as it is giving and sharing one could attain happiness without being pressure. thanks.

I lean towards the same. People these days are so driven by money that they dont look at what they already have. Good to know there are some who share the same views as I do. Happy mylotting.

Yeah, and selfishness makes this cruel world not a good place to live as many people who are always envision with a lot of insecurities discard the basic essence of internal success is what one feel and not the things which is externally seen but are not really important as it is all artificial not deeply attach with the reality. Money for me comfort us temporarily but not forever that it would bring real happiness is hard to find when one is surround with a lot of material wealth and it is hard to senses the true love among the many treasures unless one become real with his feeling as happiness spring from within self the matter of inner peace and calmness becomes more greater experience when shared with true love. have a great day!

hi picquarian, yup, that very true but with all the assets comes liabilities when famous and fortunate people are beset by internal problems which even their money could not solve at no avail..

hi crafthomebody, Yeah, that right as those things you mention makes a person happy being achiever both in his personal and professional status. Although, being wealthy could also be the basis where others makes judgment about the status of the person as highly improve or underdevelop. thanks for responding.

hi liche_china, Yeah, and success should not be a mean way to criticize other people as well that because you have something to boast of you have the right to insult other is not a assurance to do so. So far success is gain through hard work and perseverance not from abusing other or through the help of influential friends. have a nice day!

hi hatley, different reasons and definition of success is depending on every person need and immediate desires. As being successful could not mean the acquirement of money as their are other purposes to be consider. Such as the things you mention are the external way to meet the demand of your current situation. Thus, if you are able to have a good sources of livelihood those expenses could easily resolve with the money on hand. Thus,money is essential to be successful and the answer to lacking of something which could only be resolve by paying dues Thus,one could feel relax after those responsibilities and commitment is accomplish. thanks

hi antiquelady, Yeah,family is a greatest support system of all in terms of emotional and any deficiency often lead to despair and misery. Though, family is a important to keep strong as no one could bother to care, show full support and tender loving care attention except your own blood. The family is the greatest assets though money could be an instrument to bu needs and some wants but in the end should not serve solely as the ultimate basis of happiness as the state of being happy could not be purchase it is contain within the person hearts and it is best shared with loved ones. thanks

hi mentalward, Happiness is not measured by one acquired with his wealth and prestige status claim in the society but rather with the the inner peace and calm one experience inside self. As success could only be true when you have accomplish something that you feel happy and contented and out of the success is gain through fair struggle without using another people to pull you up. Thus, success is the state of mind that the presence of fame is not a total basis for a person to be call as successful but it is what you feel inside that counts.

hi sexy-jessica, Being happy to is the state of your mind and those it is further visible by the way your aura in face show a optimistic vibes and disregards pessimistic view as totally nonchalant. happiness those obtain not in the acquirement of wealth but obtain by a person within the sense of inner calm and accomplishment.thanks

hi amyson, Your right. Success could not be measured nor quantified as it could be imitate causing duplication while a real success is something that anyone could join and brag as accomplishment both compliments the internal and external appearance which may be objectionable in terms of opinion that is solely unbalance. Thus, maturity is a matter of the state of mind that need to be well plan and organized as absences of it makes any plan a failure.

hi buzzjunky, I believe you inner calmness which is inside that counts and matter at the end of the day as it feel inside and could be seen in aura of a person reflection of one's personality as optimistic thinker rather than the pessimistic types. thanks
