I see what you are saying, but think, perhaps, you are misconstruing the word "success." As I said, given the place in life I am right now, I feel successful, given I have made the most of every opportunity and have no regrets for anything I have done. I have done everything that I can. However, I feel like there are better things I can acheive and still have aspirations. Sort of like the CEO of a company, I guess. They are at the pinacle of their career, as high as they can go, but yet they still aspire to do great things when there. I guess it is the degree of sucess. You can be successful and still be more so than you already are. So I guess anonms really nailed it with his definition of success.

Fine leatherbound books and an apartment which smells of rich mohagony.

success does not equal money that is for sure
success is having a fulfilling life by helping the people around you and those less fortunate, while still being comfortable and happy doing a job you love and enjoy...and if you have kids...raising a family to be happy and healthy, so they become good and generous human beings later in their lives

[FilmCriticAwezume]

success is only attainable via recognition from others

[Scukonaher]

Successful is a guy that earns more than what his wife can spend, or a woman who can find such husband.

[pokerbonuscod]

to me success means having time, space, access, and the physical and financial ability to enjoy them or be able to offer them to someone else.

[pokerbonuscod]

I have to agree with Reppu. Some of the most succesful people I've ever met are far from rich.

[Seiblybiozy]

I was going to say 'being better than anyone else,' but hey your responses are cool too!

[encunnibriG]

I think success is when you are content with what you've done and you have no overwhelminging regrets for what you've done and you did your best.

[SusanSazzios]

success does not equal me

[FilmCriticAwezume]

success is measured in numbers
being atleast 40 and being married to a girl atleast 15 years younger
having a house above 7000 sq ft
and playing golf atleast 4 times a week

In your opinon, how would you define success? What makes a person successful, and do you view yourself as sucessful?
In my opinion, a person is successful if they are respected by members of their community, are happy with where they are in life, and are comfortable with how they are living. I don't want to sound conceited, but I view myself as successful at my current place in life in those respects. I am attending the college I wanted to. I am studying for a career that interests me and I have people that trust me to give them a hand on homework if they need it. So where do the rest of you stand?

[teridbruse]

Yeah, you can say that success is demostrated by a good house, an expensive car, recognition from others.....but i don't give a sh** for all that if i am not happy, and i know people very wealthy but very unsuccesful. For me, success in life is that state of warm, calm happyness. Sadly, that's a feeling not meant to last.

i agree with anonms - success means being content with what you've accomplished and with what kind of person you are.

[Scukonaher]

Its a joke, we all know successful is whatever makes one happy....

[juptVatoSoito]

successful= vini vidi vinci

[favwebbb]

i agree with anonms too in saying that success is being content. i don't think you can put the same measure of success on everyone in the world, or even everyone in the same society. success is whatever an individual strives to become and is, alas, successful at becoming that person. everyone has their own beliefs of what success should be. a mom wants his son to be successful, making tons of money, marrying a good daughter-in-law, living in a mansion. son thinks hes successful becuase he's just formed his own rock group, and they've played their first concert at the old folk's home. dad thinks they're both nuts and sees his son as the future baseball star. success is all relative.

[favwebbb]

and if he's getting that money selling crack? still successful?
