The author, Professor Daniel Siegel (clinical Professor of psychiatry at UCLA, co-director of the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Centre and the executive director of the Mindsight Institute) has fittingly presented a poem on defining “SUCCESS” by Bessie Anderson Stanley to wind up the text.
“It offers insights into what successful adolescences might look like, how the essence of adolescence can enrich the rest of our lives.”
SUCCESS
“To laugh often and love much;
To win respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give of one’s self;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung exultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived-
This is to have succeeded.

After doing so much of hard work with full satisfaction is a real success for any human being
Dear Dr. Chandana Watagodakumbura , you have raised an important and debatable issue.
The true meaning of success goes far beyond the common definitions of success, such as having a lot of money, being wealthy, having a lot of tangibles and earned degrees. Quite the opposite: true success in life cannot be measured with the above-named factors, but instead with the amount of people that are able to live a better and more advanced life because of what you created. This is the meaning of success.
Different people define success differently. And I would like to share you what 12 rich, powerful people share their surprising definitions of success
"Success isn't about how much money you make. It's about the difference you make in people's lives." Barack Obama
"Success is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration." Thomas Edison
"Warren Buffett has always said the measure [of success] is whether the people close to you are happy and love you." "It is also nice to feel like you made a difference — inventing something or raising kids or helping people in need." Bill Gates
"Too many people measure how successful they are by how much money they make or the people that they associate with," "In my opinion, true success should be measured by how happy you are." Sir Richard Branson.
"To live the lives we truly want and deserve, and not just the lives we settle for, we need a Third Metric," "a third measure of success that goes beyond the two metrics of money and power, and consists of four pillars: well-being, wisdom, wonder, and giving." Arianna Huffington
"To me, the definition of success is waking up in the morning with a smile on your face, knowing it's going to be a great day. I was happy and felt like I was successful when I was poor, living six guys in a three-bedroom apartment, sleeping on the floor." Mark Cuban
"Peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you're capable," John Wooden
"I measure success by how many people love me." Warren Buffett
"Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it." Maya Angelou
"Success in life could be defined as the continued expansion of happiness and the progressive realization of worthy goals," Chopra writes in "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success." Deepak Chopra
"If you carefully consider what you want to be said of you in the funeral experience," he writes in the book, "you will find your definition of success." Stephen Covey
Among these, which definition is best for you dear Dr. Chandana Watagodakumbura?
After doing so much of hard work with full satisfaction is a real success for any human being
Dear Chandana:
A. Einstein's and T. Edioson's definition: Suceess: Is 1percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.
As I see it, a successful individual is s/he who lives in peace and harmony with himself/herself, the others and the universe. I could also say that a successful person is s/he who looks for the true, the good, and the beautiful. It is also said that it is only in the dictionay that success appears first tham work
Best regards,
Orlando.
And, of course, it may be understood as achievement of a goal, for example academic achievement :)
I fully agree with Jack Son that success is when you feel it. It is personal feeleing, in fact.
I have learned a lot from that discussion, Thank you Chandana Watagodakumbura
The concept of success varies from one person to another, but all of these concepts converge in the desire of each of us to satisfy himself and achieve his dreams, reach a specific goal, and achieve goals set, by legitimate means and diverse methods, a demand that everyone seeks, and wishes to reach.
Defining success can be difficult as the term itself is so abstract. In order to define success, take a look at your own personal goals, interests, and passions.
Regards
