Prosperity is success.

It is important to have the resources of my living in a prosperous quantity, but I don't think that competing with the others to maximize my resources is wise. I think there is only one earth and if some think in former way, then everybody can live happily because it can provide the resource to everybody in prosperous manner but if some one think to gather the resources and keep everything with them, then that will lead to hunger and non-balance. So it is important to understand that our goal of success should be based on prosperity and not other ways. What do you think?

hi, for me i think we should not only expect to the prosperity of life,we should also do our best and hard to gain that success in life,we all know that when we have many ways to success then we should do it all,sometimes prosperity ends in our hands too.

Actually, success is a relative term and is always used in its relative meaning rather than absolute. success for a student is a gain respectable marks in exams; success for husband and wife is to celebrate their silver jubilee with the hope that they would lead a happy life; success for a teacher is to teach students what they don't know; hence what actually the success is! success is being able to look yourself into the mirror and be proud of the person you have become, you did the best you could. this is a simple definition of success.

I think you are right, for every person success is different, like for a teacher, teaching effectively and getting good grades for the students is a success. It is a relative term for sure, not absolute. I think people should make their success a goal in such a way that it do not affect the harmony in family, society and in nature. I mean, if I kill someone for my own happiness then, it is not a success. If I pollute the environment for getting myself wealthy is not success. I should grow in such a way that, when I grow, the others are in harmony. In today's population is better to aim for prosperity, not for maximum.

I think if everyone understood how the world worked, they would know that there is enough of everything for everyone! It's thinking that there isn't is what keeps people from being successful. You never have to hoard or step on people to be successful. it's helping others to be successful that will always allow you to be the best you that you can be and that will make you truly successful!

I recently realized that our world is facing very big problem now, which is called "global warming". It is a problem which I use to read in the books since my childhood but it is bigger now, and it awake me. I have decided to plant trees. It is only me and other people like me who are living in this world, so it is my responsibility to help the nature to survive. I have decided to live in a prosperous manner. I don't have to buy the things which I don't need. No accumulations of the things is going to make me feel better. I have to decide if I really need something or not, and only then use it. Ultimately it is me who is using the things, and things are made up from some natural resources, so there is a need to save them.

I agree. This world should not be so "survival of the fittest." What do any of us really own anyways? Or have the right to own? Who or what are we really worshiping?

Yes the survival of the fittest is not a good line if used everywhere but it is used when the people undergo some accidental happenings which they have not thought to happen like that. I think we should take the earth and the society with us too.

Hello Dear, Thank you, I think that is what is required to do, everybody should care about the nature. I think that I am going to start some business in which I can nurture the nature too. I think that is the needed to do because the present environment is getting warmed.
