How do you measure success ?
Is it being top of your profession, successfully raising a family, or do you measure success by wealth?

What would be success mean for you?

Hello againlaugh I think it is more of a mixture, rather than any one thing.

Making good of any given talents that you have, whatever field that is in.

If one is luck to have a family,, then giving the benefit of all the good that you know

A good education etc.

Being a decent human being , and treat others with respect.

And lots more ,, just being a decent human being , that would be success to me grin

I agree, being respected as a human being, is worth more than any wealth accumulated thumbs up

It felt like having made it in life when I knew that my daughter can be truly happy with herself and that she is happy smile

I'm with Anna on this one. And also making good use of your talents..knowledge and wisdom for the greatest good of humanity.

For me success is also how much we have evolved in this life and fulfilled our mission.

Men tend to view success more in terms of financial and career success. Women with kids in terms of their kids.

Me, if I am happy and have enough to enjoy life, have a roof over my head, have good friends and family, then that is enough for me.

I have no idea when I would have 'made' it.
I have no interest in success or leaving a legacy.
Plain mundane will do me fine

Success to me is reaching the ripe old age of 90 with my brain cells and body parts still intact and functioning, including teeth, so I can smile with contentment knowing that I've given it my all without regret. laugh
