To some people, success might mean wealth. To some others, it is recognition, happiness, satisfaction, and peace of mind. Let's discuss.
Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal. – Earl Nightingale
Dear Manmatha,
"How do we define success?" -- You ask.
As I see it, success means different thinks to different people. As you say to some people, success might mean wealth. To some others, it is recognition, happiness, satisfaction, and peace of mind.
To my understanding a successful person is someone who lives in peace and harmony with himself/herself, the others, and the universe. When this is the case, the individual attains, I think, a state of self-actualization in A. Maslow's pyramid of needs.
Best regards,
Orlando
Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal. – Earl Nightingale
To laugh often and love much;
To win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children;
To earn the approval of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends ;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give off one's self without the slightest thought of return;
To have accomplished a task, whether by a healthy child, a rescued soul, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with Enthusiasm and sung with exaltation;
To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.
