What is success? last weeked i have to think this question since i saw the Phoenix Wei last saturday evening. In my eyes, sucess is you have reached the target fixted by you , may be is you have get rid of a bad habit,or may be is you have overcome a difficult , or you may be find a good job with good pay ,or you may be have a good family,and so on . I think success can't only definition on famous very much or have much wealth, let us make a hypothesis,you have the word but you haven't health,or you haven't a happy family,or you extremely not joyful everyday , you still can say you are a success man ? I think not . success have different definition with different pepole in a different condition, so it can't copy. You can pay expensive tuition fee to learn success,but you may can't success by what you learn, because success is fumble by yourself,. you only can draw other's success experience,but can't use it on yourself without change.What's more, success is a attitude not what you own . Dear friends, how do you think the sucess ?

i think success is measured by yourself target and aims in life! like what do you want to be? or what do you want to do in your life?! if you already have found those answers today, then you are a successful person! Good day!

Success for me occurs from little things and simple things. Success for me is something sweet. It is something that I did that gave smile to many people. It is something beyond what words can express. Success for me may occur in some aspect of my life, and failure may also occur in the other aspect of my life, however, I need not to worry, for there's nothing to be sad for. In life, we can't always get what we want, we can't always win in all battles. I guess that's what many people want, that's why they cannot appreciate the word SUCCESS, for they want something more, they want their life to be something perfectly won. I guess most of us do search for what we called absolute SUCCESS. Absolute success for me can never be earned here on earth, because it is something that I can have when I'm with God.

Morning mari. Success is somewhat when you have successfully committed your mission in a satisfactory way. Success is everywhere if you pay enough attention to it around you. Like I can say that you are a success at Mylot as you have the ability to start as many new discussions as you can while I cannot due to my lack of creative mind and imagination. But still I think that I am a success as I can still respond to as many discussions as I can with some nice quality though not one hundred percent perfect. I am a success as I can still actively use my mind for many things. So to some extent success is just around you in many minor things. Thanks for the discussion. Have a good weekend.

Sucess is when you feel good after you have done something or you accomplished a goal or mission. Some would think that success is contentment but i dont think so. Because we are never contented and we tend to chieve more and more. You can only say that you are successful on something but not in general because the moment you accomplished a goal or mission, you tend to want more and more. Secret for success? I think its just a matter of setting achievable goals/ mission and doing your best in achieving it without sacrificing friendship/relationship or life.

What is success? In my opion,it's hard to say.Every body can have different answers.Some may say success is you can reach your target,or you earn a lot of money.But I think all of these are not what I want.The most important thing is you can do the things what you really want,even though it makes you earn only a little pay.But I think it's OK.If you can do the things you really want,you will be the happinest person in the world. There are too much money in the world and there are too much opportunity.Whatever you get,you will never feel satisfied.So the most success is that you can do the things you really want.Only at that time,you will be feel happy.

The term success could mean different things to many people. Challenging oneself to go higher than the expectations that one has set for him or herself.

Before you start to do something, you set up a goal first. Then after spending a lot of time, hard-work and your energy, you reach your goal at last. It is success. I do think success is a outcome of your try.

Success and Failure. We think of them as opposites ,but they're really not. They're companions-the hero and the sidekick.
