Basically that is what I understood of being successful in life. I think the idea of being successful is measurable by how happy you are in your present situation. You may have plenty of money to cover your every needs in life but if that money makes you sad, overworked and do not enjoy life itself then you are not a successful person at all. But if you love painting and has little money to spend but still you feel happy doing it then you are successful in life since you are getting what makes you happy in life.

I think people in different period have different standard of success.
Young people may think entering famous universities is success. Adults may think have enough money as Bill Gates is success. While the old ones think living happily with their family members is success.
Success will really make people feel happy, but sometimes someone owning the things which means success may feel that they are the poor one for they losing the good feeling from trying to get the success.
I think try my best to get a good result is success.

I think if you do anything with enthusiam and get excited about it, you are more likely to succeed.
Success comes from achieving things despite finding difficulties and problems. Most successful people don't find it easy early on in their efforts to became successful, but they are passionate about what they do and won't ever let those early disappointments get in their way.
If fear of failure stops you from trying, you will never find happiness or achieve success.

The answer to that question is as complicated as the question is simple. I definitly had to think befor i could answer it. and after all that thinking i still don't have a good answer, because a dozen things a day make life a sucess and they change constantly. If you love your career and like going to work every day life is a success, having your child say Mama the first time , seeing his first smile, watching him sleep on his little tummy with his behind stuck up in the air makes life a success. Then as the years pass on seeing your children grow up and have children of their own, having your husband bring you a cup of coffee in bed and tell you that he loves you, waking up to see the sun shining during the summer and watching everything bloom and feeling the temptures drop in the fall (goodness knows your ready for it)and watching all the new colors blossom then seeing everything close up and get ready for winter. Having your grandchildren call and say can i come spend the night Grandma? Millions of tiny little things make life a sucess. Sometimes you don't even realize how much of a sucess it is until you look past the promotion you didn't get, the money you lost in a bad investment or a lot of other things that can over shadow them if you let it. I think that is really what makes life a success, learning to look at the little things that happen around you each and every day and not just seeing the things that go wrong. All in all i would say my life has been a resounding success!

Success is not a game that your run 100 meter race and wining the modal or any price . Success is not key for happiness. Success is not to get what we want. As per my thinking Success is that think when your parents who as kept you in is womb for 10 month who care you and make you as a man of important and give you a great poss ion in this world when they cry a happiness cry for you that is success.
