What Is A Successful Woman?
It's a woman who has an appreciation
Of the world around her
And of her unique place in it...
If she has energy to devote both to work
And to play....
If she has the capacity to give of herself
And to accept graciously
The gifts of others....
If she has people
She trusts and is trusted by,
People she cares about
Who care about her..
If she has a zest for life
And a feeling of kinship with all living things..
If she has the enthusiasm
To welcome each new day
With warmth
And joy
And love...
Then she is truly a successful woman.
Of the world around her
And of her unique place in it...
If she has energy to devote both to work
And to play....
If she has the capacity to give of herself
And to accept graciously
The gifts of others....
If she has people
She trusts and is trusted by,
People she cares about
Who care about her..
If she has a zest for life
And a feeling of kinship with all living things..
If she has the enthusiasm
To welcome each new day
With warmth
And joy
And love...
Then she is truly a successful woman.

I would like to think that the woman you describe would be not too far off the ideal of success and if it's your definition of it for you I have no doubt you are a 'successful' woman..

What Is A Successful Man?
Author: Unknown
It's a man who has an appreciation
Of the world around him
And of his unique place in it...
If he has energy to devote both to work
And to play....
If he has the capacity to give of himself
And to accept graciously
The gifts of others....
If he has people
He trusts and is trusted by,
People he cares about
Who care about him..
If he has a zest for life
And a feeling of kinship with all living things..
If he has the enthusiasm
To welcome each new day
With warmth
And joy
And love...
Then he is truly a successful man.
Seems to work well either 1/2 you slice don't you think? Thanks. ;-)

It works both ways indeed and we're all successful!

This definition of success given is offered by a caring and gentle poet soul. Thank you for sharing.
My Opinion is a Successful Woman is a woman that has found contentment!
Do you know any?
