We all dream to be successful. But what does it mean to be successul? How do we know that we are a success already? Who or what determines success?

Being satisfied with what you have is really the key. But with what you stated, you are doing quite well.

You'll know it when you already have a happy life that no other people have. But always remember don't get carried away with all of your success it might end up in nightmare.. Don't be feed up with success.

I could say that I am on my way to success because I have just decided that I will no longer fail and it is a good feeling. I did a lot today. There will be more to achieve tomorrow. Cheers!!!

There are so many things to achieve. Today or tomorrow, there would always be something to achieve. So when do you say that it is enough?

You aare successful when you are comfortable that you achieved all the giasl you set out too achieve.Notice I said all the goals tah you and not society because success is a personal milestone.Persons may look at you and say hat you havent achieved the fancy car and big job that they think you should but then you are happy with your life becaus eyou have achieved what you set out to achieve

You're right, success is a personal one. It's really up to you and not what society says. You may have all the material things on the world that society says you should, but if for you, this is not enough, then it still is not a success.
