How is success measured in today's society?

Prevalent in society, success is measured by wealth. But, I measure the success of the actions that are useful to as many people.

In my opinion, success in the context of present day is measured by two things. They are money and status. A lot of people are trying so hard to be recognized by others, to have higher social or financial status. To earn as much money as possible. Most people daily conversation goes around the same topic such as whose son had managed to become what, money issues, who managed to hold what position in certain organization etc. It is too evident that people measure success through these criteria. I don't think success should be measured by only these two criteria. Having able to raise a healthy family can also be a measurement of success.

Success for me comes only after one has finally achieve one's goal. If your friend's goal is merely to have a good job, a big house and a lot of money in the bank then she's successful in those aspects. For me, that's just a very small part in my big plan for the next 5 years. Success for me, in short, is the state wherein I can say "I can die happy now."

HI chase, I think the answer to that question is based of who you ask,,its based on the individuals perception on what success is, because some people think money is success, some think a great paying is success,having that big house with the white picket fence, I think that most of those people don't factor into success the Love to share, caring for others, happy and healthy children.

Definition of success varies from a person to a person. There is not a particular measurement for it. Some may feel success it getting money,house,bank balance, love, education,career and so on. It is also seen that some people do not bother for relationships or a family but the money. Means they are failure with the relationships but successful with money part and vice verse.

Success is mesure by wealth, the more successfull you are the higher people rate you in society.

I would say that career wise, the person you mentioned is successful on that area. Personally, a person can be called successful if she already attained her goals in life. Whether it is about career, love life or family matters.

People vary from all walks of life , thus one's definition of success is different from every individual. A lot of people still define success in terms of acquisition. Having a high paying job, money in the bank, a business, a house and lot, a car of his own. Never mind if it was acquired in the right and proper way, but from the eyes of every body, they are successful, until one look close enough to understand that it was all superficial. For some having a peace of mind, good health, a supportive family, trusting friends, even an advocacy defines one's success in life. These are the people who are aware of the value of money but do not define the start and end of it all. Some even choose to share their extra wealth to the less fortunate, thus raising funds for a scholarship foundation or charitable institutions. Sadly one come to realize the value of success later in life, at times after encountering a life lesson, worst after experiencing an accident or a calamity. Some people never learn. It all depends on the individual what route one takes, but as always, the road less travelled have never been an inviting one .

success is measured in different ways for no individual is the same.It simply means that success may view differently in different person.In my case, success can be measured your happiness within yourself and the second thing is the career that you have.
