Being successful, to me, means being satisfied in every aspect of my life. Accomplishing my goals, living life to the fullest, being surrounded by people I love and who love me back, knowing I've made a contribution to the world, and being able to die without any regrets. What does success mean to you? What defines it for you?

to me success means a whole lot more than money and properties. Success in my life means accomplishing my dreams, making my love ones happy and also being loved by my close ones. Although for now i'm not so sure of my real dreams, i want to fulfil the dreams which I have now that is changing my families lifestyle and providing a less stressful life to my parents. In order to do so,I must be well educated and have a great career. The most important thing is someone is only sucessful when there is always love, faith and care around them.

sucessful means being contented with what I have and with having friends whom I love and love me, and a son whom I care about a whole lot.I have contributed to the world by being a nurses aid first and later a page in a library. helpin others was my main goal and I fulfilled that one so am now retired and contented.

I must say that succes to me is a pretty materialistic concept. One that I strive for nonetheless. First off success will be finishing uni with a good degree, then after that it will consist of getting a good stable fun career, and being able to travel. Mainly it's travel. I think that if I make enough money and get a good enough career I am more likely to be able to travel and in turn fulfill my ambitions in life.
