"Success is looking back at your life, when you are in your final moments, and possessing a great amount of pride around your creations, accomplishments, and legacy, while possessing little to no regret about what you did not do and missed opportunities (i.e. your family still loves you). If I can die feeling this way, I believe this is success."

-- Seth Besmertnik

Thanks for sharing your question. Success is the accomplishment of one's aims. It means your are smart and strong enough to complete your objectives. It is about your passion and being fulfilled in what you do, with balance and harmony in making a difference in your life and in others lives.

"Success is not having to describe what's been accomplished....others do it for you"

-- Deborah Hopkins

Beautiful definition:

Wonderful!!!!!

Thank you Dr Derra Mourad and Dr Arwa Abdulrasoul Salman for your beautiful quotes and thoughts describing the success....

Happy weekend!

Regards

Selvam.

Real success in life can not be measured by factors (money, power, educational attainment, etc.), but instead work with people who are able to live a better and more advanced life because of what you have created. This is the meaning of success. Not the prizes that people gather in their lives ..... but the meaning of success is to live a happy life and make this world a better place for all.

Thanks Dr Isam Issa Omran for making a strong point here "making this world a better place for all is a real success"...

Regards

Selvam.

Dear Colleagues,

Good Day,

The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.

                                                                             ----  Mark Caine 

Success  is the status of having achieved and accomplished an aim or objective. Being successful means the achievement of desired visions and planned goals. Furthermore, success can be a certain social status that describes a prosperous person that could also have gained fame for its favorable outcome. 

Dear Colleagues,

Good Day,

 Humility is the true key to success. Successful people lose their way at times. They often embrace and overindulge from the fruits of success. Humility halts this arrogance and self-indulging trap. Humble people share the credit and wealth, remaining focused and hungry to continue the journey of success.

                                                                                 ----  Rick Pitino 

Dear Colleagues,

Good Day,

“Success is best when it’s shared.”

                                               – Howard Schultz

Long story short ,

When I was younger , getting decent grades , later some sort of profession (nope did not go there ) , now - irrelevant ...

No , not to be confused with money Selvam ...

Success is worth while outputs , doing things we like and contributing towards progress (self or otherwise)

If you are a teacher, success means your students are happy at the end of the day!

Success is the result of hard work and good planning!

Success is the payment for the unrelenting spirit of focus to hardworking goals.

Dear Colleagues,

Good Day,

Success is nothing if you don't have the right people to share it with; you're just gonna end up lonely.

Positive step forward

Success is a subjective issue, to me success is living a contented life.No worries of money no worries of health,..

Success is different things to different people. Trying to push your idea of success on other people is probably not a good thing.

This is indirect way, I am answering your question:

Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself. Compete yourself and don't compare with others. You don't need other people to validate you, you're already valuable. Don't compare your progress with that of others. We all need our own time to travel our own distance.#blue_ocean_strategy_of_life

POSITIVE THINKING AND THE CHANCES OF SUCCESS!

DearLjubomir Jacić, thanks for sharing again....i too have been inspired by Dr Hazim Hashim Tahir's contribution....

At the end of the day, the only real measure of success in life is the well-being of ourselves and others.

Dear Colleagues, Good Day,

“In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. ”

― Bill Cosby

Dear @Hazim serves as an inspiration!

In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

How many of us have a fear of failure? For him, as a comic, the failure would be very public and the feedback would be immediate and brutal. He must really have truly wanted to succeed more than anything else in the world.

We all have something we fear. For each of us, it will be in different areas of our lives and in different amounts, as we are all different people. The people who succeed in life are the people who can manage their fear. While they may look fearless, most will tell you there is still fear, but they go forward anyway. Courage is another term for that force that moves you forward, despite your fear. To me, that is what this quote is about...

"Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. Don't wish it were easier; wish you were better."

-- Jim Rohn

Preparing Our Students for Success

Imagine a world where every child, who dreams of becoming a scientist or engineer, is provided with the opportunity to fulfill that dream. Think of the possibilities and the discoveries that can help humanity or global sustainability. Think of the new solutions that all those minds might discover...

I would begin by differentiating garden-variety success from exceptional success; see, for example:

it is achieving the greatest wishes with greatest effort for greatest moments with greatest friends

A completed scientific project.

Self gratification!

I have success from my work quality and drom my family, they work for me and beside me.

success is a journey not a destination
