What do you mean by a successful person?? I have seen people talking a lot about business tycoons, who can spend money like nothing. Well, usually, they call them successful people..do you really think that money is the only critaria to judge a person...or how successful he/she is...? I don't think so...

No way! Success is what you make of it. For example, my sister doesn't work (yet), she has a loving husband, two beautiful, intelligent daughters, and she just graduated from university AND college. She is successful. I am currently a university student, doing my undergrad and hope to start my Masters after that. I just had a baby boy 5 months ago. And I have a great boyfriend and a beautiful step-daughter. I am also successful. Neither my sister or I make much money. Money doesn't define success. Happiness and satisfaction do. A big business man might make hundreds of thousands a year, but if he has no family or friends because he sacrificed it all for money, is that success? I don't think so. What is the point in having all that money if you have no one to share it with?

Absolutely Right...I totally agree with you. People like you do feel happier even in those adverse circumstances...and that's what we call a good life.
