I think success is waking up happy and having confidence in yourself. I would like to get a college degree, a job, my biggest passion is to travel the world. But all I want in life when I really get down to it, is just to be happy.

Ash Acting Up thank you! those are awesome definitions of success. :)

@raimabanerjee2612 3 жыл бұрын

"How do you evaluate success?" or "How do you define success?" The best approach to answering this question is to think of specific examples of your successes and explain to yourself the factors that contributed to your achievements. Success is looking back at your life, when you are in your final moments, and possessing a great amount of pride around your creations, accomplishments, and legacy, while possessing little to no regret about what you did not do and missed opportunities. If I can die feeling this way, I believe this is success. Source: sawan-kumar.com/blog/whats-your-success-definition/ for inspirational video.

"Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal." If someone is working toward a predetermined goal and knows where they are going, that person is a success. If they are not doing that, they are a failure. "Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal." Rollo May, the distinguished psychiatrist, wrote in his wonderful book called: "Man's Search for Himself" And in this book he says: "The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice - it is conformity." Got this from earl nightingale, for me he defines success in the best way possible (In my opinion of course).

Success to me is having what makes you happy.Being free and true to yourself and as of others around you. Knowing money dosnt define who you are as a human being. Accepting the past living the present and excited for the future but taking time to smell the roses.

Success for me is having a job that makes me feel useful, earn enough money to save, give gifts to my love ones, have a car to be able to move around when i want to, build good memories with my child, find more things i enjoy doing, probably basic things for some but hey these are important to me.

To me, success is when you finally accomplish a goal. Whether that goal is just a simple little game or something that can change your life you still become successful. Completing your goal is what I believe success is. I learned this from Dexters Laboratory because every time he finished one of his projects he yelled "SUCCESS!"

Success means to have a sense of content in what you have done or achieved it doesn't matter if what you have is what you wanted in the start but it is to feel the pleasure of your doing and the satisfaction that what you have is at par with the hard-work you have put into it. Truth to be told this is the best i could come up with........... in short it would be to say F*** YEAH I DID IT!!!! at the end of the day.
