when can you say a person is successful?

If you ask me I say one successful if he has done what no others did. People achieve big targets but if the person has achieved target bigger than me than he is successful for me at the same time if his target is small than other person's than he is not successful in other person's way through eyes.

I think the best way to access success is to be confident and do whatever you think you should do.It's important to insist what you are doing.Especially when others do not support you.There are lots of friends beside me who doing such great things successfully.Good luck.

I, myself, measure success by happiness. I don't think success is measured by having a big house, nice cars, and an all American marriage unless that's what makes the person happy. One time in a waiting room an old man said to me, "I don't care if a man lives in a shack. Every house is a man's castle. I wouldn't wanna live in a big house anyways. I'd have to be careful of getting little things like crumbs on the floor." He was so right. Success is only measured by money and excess if you want it to be.

For me success would mean being happy with the life you have. It differs from everyone because normally the poor and the rich considers success as being able to have a good business and living a wealthy life. However, average people thinks having a simple house than they call their own with their family with them can be considered that they have lived a successful life.

Different people...with Different goals....and leading to Different success in life... what i think as a success for me might be just another event for another person.If one person wants to have friends and he/she did it then he/she is successful or if one person wants to learn something new from another person and that person will teach him/her then its a success.Or if a person wants to develop confident and he/she slowly working his/her way to over come there lack of confidence.If we don't start having success with this very little things(family,friends,self development, and etc) that we often neglect then how will we ever obtain the so called "financial success" in life? Success is anything a person desires,wants, and planned to be reached by that certain person whether its financial, emotional, physical, or spiritual. have a great day =)

Success is different for each person. I don't think I could look at ANY person and figure out if they're successful or not. I think that I can tell if they're doing well in life (financially, their living situation, etc.), but I'll never be able to tell if they're successful or not unless they tell me they think they're successful. I'm not successful in life right now because I don't think I am. Maybe in a few years down the road a bit, I'll change my mind and realize that I have become successful, but only I will ever know.

It's not always about the money. Some high positions seem successful but do not really pay enough to support a family. In my case I have what is considered a successful position but because I am a single mom, I also have to work a 2nd job for 11 hours on Saturday. That makes me successful - because then I can make enough to support my family and keep everyone satisfied. Success is different for everyone.

success is being happy and doing what you are passionate about and having at least all you basic needs.

Hi, In my opinion, a good human being equals a successful person. I would consider a person who looks beyond the luxuries of this materialistic world as a successful one. Unlimited properties and huge bank balances may provide a comfortable living but most unlikely to hold the key to happiness.

Success comes in many forms. And not to mention there are times where you can succeed to an extent, but not really get to your goal right away. Success is something that depends on the actual goals. Not to mention if there are several smaller goals that are leading up to a much larger goal. Milestones that people can hit one at a time and if they do not completely really get to them a lot of the time, then that is more than fine. I think that if you talk to three different people, then their success is really different things. Plus for me, even if I failed, I actually did succeed in a way. I gained some valuable knowledge about what steps not to take. That will lead to my inevitable success in other ways. It was just a momentarily set back, nothing more, nothing more else. That is just really something that depends on the person. That being the measure of success.

Success is different for every person. For me it's being at peace with God and the people around me, having a happy marriage, having enough money to have a home and enough to eat and all that goes with that, being able to be self-employed, and being able to keep my bills paid with enough left over to help someone in need.

I would call a person successful when He/she has achieved the goals he/she has set for himself/herself. For instance having many friends doesn't mean success to me but having connections does. Similarly another person may feel he need friends as well as connections to be successful.

Being successful is always depends on each individual. A lot of people may think that they are successful just because of their wealth. The true meaning of success for me is just simple. Having a life that is mine and being able to play my role as a mother to my children. You don't have to be frustrated if you are not rich. A lot of successful people don't even have a dime on their bank account but still they are still happy living their lives as it is. If you can be happy and contented, you can consider yourself successful!:)

Success plays an whital role in ones life. Without success no one can live in this earth. All the fields such as education level and other fields are in the competition to over come others.A person is said to be successful when he overcome all his inabilities. Am I right ?

If you want be a definition of success, you will get many person give you different answer. I ever read a book about it and i think thats true. It say that a person can be a successful if can get its dream...how about you?
