What is the definition of success in your own dictionary?
How you consider people are success or not? what i your criteria of success?
Please share :D
My Own:
As a man, i think people considered as successful if:
1. Success in Family
Having harmonious family and good relation with the members of family. For a man to be success, he should able to lead as the head of family which responsible and respected by all the members of family.
2. Success in Career
having good career and lot of money is the other criteria. Success in family is not enough. People needs money to support his/her daily life
3. Success in spiritual life.
having lot of money and good family is good enough to be success. However, it is not perfect. To be perfect, a person should feel enjoy and happy with the situation they have. Some rich people feel insecure and can't sleep well everyday because they afraid someday they will lose their money because of excessive reason (being stole, being rob, or etc) or Heads of family which feel under pressure for great responsibility they have in family. If they are able to get rid of those anxieties, then they are the real successful person.
Note: don't forget to thanks the God, the one who grant your success and bless it :D

Success in Family is the zenith of success in my opinion... first you have succeeded to develop a personality to find someone to love you.. next you succeed in business or money affairs to keep family spending afloat... success in bearing offsprings is also an indicator.

I define the meaning of the word "success" is a joy, pride and pleasure. Succes make a joy because can buy a mansion. Success is a pride because have the most expensive car and have pretty wife (at least have four wife). Succes make a pleasure because many had deposits in several banks ...

5h1n164m1 hi to me as a woman and a senior citizen I see success
as being a mature adult, taking care of uourself and doing the
best you can where you are. I hate the idea that we always measure
success by how much money you make. I never made a lot of money but as a nursesaide I felt I fulfilled my right to be on earth by giving to others. Success in becoming a good wife and a good mom is a given to
me, Sure its lovely to make a lot of money but money alone is not going
to keep you happy while husband and children and friends will and they do not cost anything.,I disagree with having a lot of money as I have known some criminal types who were deemed great successes as they made fortunes. I think you left out good character and a deep feeling always that God is in control. No you do not have to make a ton of money to be successful in my own viewpoint.

yes, that's correct Hatley. However, have read the point number 3 hatley? If you said someone success and had lot of money because of he do criminal things. I think he still can not be categorized as successful person because he will always worry about his/her life, worry all his/her crimes will be revealed, worry where will he/she be in future, jail?. Besides that, having lot of money i means here is having a financial freedom. It is not the money important, but the things we traded using money. It useless you have lot of money, but you don't use it, you can't get what you want by it and you are not happy with your life. That's my opinion Hatley, what do you think? :D

Hi 5h1n164m1: Just as you mention it's difficult to make and exact definition of success because people have their own definitions of success according to their expectations so I will give you my own definition:
1. Success in Family:
I just want to meet the love of my life, a girl that will understand me, respect me and support me, that will make my life happier than it is now.
2. Success in Career:
I want to be in the Court Supreme, or and Embassy. I want to archieve some of the goals I'm dreaming for years since I've started my career, I want to make this intellectual goals.
3. Spritual Success:
In my case I want to improve and be a better person day by day, to have the peace of my mind to know that I'm contribuating to make things better and that I'm doing what God wants that I do
Thanks for asking us this question. Have a nice day

I guess that success can only be measured by what your particular goals are. Being successfull means accomplishing your goals. Therefore depending on what you want to accomplish in your life, be it family, fame, fortune, etc, only you can define what your success in life would be.

Success in not material. We cannot walk on a way that leads nowhere. First we need to set a goal for ourselves in what ever we do, may it be in our personal life, professional life or social life.
If we decide that we will keep our spouse happy, we need to believe that we are doing the right thing and never ever doubt our abilities. Never allow a negative thought to over come you like, he / she may not like it etc. coz when you think your mind creates vibrations and things tend to happen.
The same with your professional and social life. You need to believe in whatever you do. talk positive. If you find a friend of yours who talks negative you know what to do.
Think success, create images of success, happiness in your mind and believe that you have already succeeded and trust me it will happen.

My definition of success is living a good compassionate life, taking care of oneself independently and living with integrity and love doing what makes the heart sing. In my opinion how much money a person has or the ‘position’ he or she may have in society is not a true measure of success. How much one is loved and respected is a better suggestion to how well one is living life.
