The only real and enduring succes is the bliss of expanding consciousness and to add to the ethical perfection of this world by conscious action. Man does not live by bread alone, but by the divine sparks of learning in this world that enliven the soul. No one, who also studies wisdom, will choose a pure materialistic path, for the cost of its sufferings will surpass its gains.
Dear Iqbal Thonse Hawaldar,
Good discussion on the concept of success has been given above. However, the definition of success varies from individual to individual, situation to situation, objective to objective and so on. Generally, success can be defined in terms of satisfaction. A satisfied person is a successful person.
Best Wishes,
A successful person is a fulfilled person. It takes discipline to be successful. Success is not only a direct measure of the number of awards or patents won over the years but a collection of a number of factors.
Some attributes of successfull person includes:
1. One at peace, love with God, himself and to humanity.
2. Career accomplishments.
3. Contributed to the betterment of the world.
4. Mentored many who are more successful.
5. A role model to all.
Pursuing and enjoying values is the meaning of a successful human life.
A successful person is one who is at peace with himself/herself!!! I would like to recall a beautiful tale by Rudyard Kipling: The Miracle of Purun Bhagat. When was he succesful? When he was the Prime Minister of India or when was the holy man of that lost village and saved them from the catastrophe? I always chose the last one because he was in control with himself.
Who has peace of mind and gets proper sleep at night without disturbances.
Dear Iqbal Thonse Hawalar.
You ask the following; Who is a successful person?
I think that this question is similar to other one you raised, So, my answer is relatively similar to the one I gave to your other question.
As I see it, a successful person is somewhone who :
(1) Lives is harmony and peace with him/herself;
(2) Lives in harmony and peace with the others;
(3) Lives in harmony and peace with the universe,
When this is the case, that person is a self-actualized person according to A, Maslow's pyramid of needs, Acccordingly, a self-actualized person gets on with his/her profession, family, personal and social life. Also when we live in harmony with ourselves, the others and the universe we are citizens of the world and make a litlle, may be great, contribution to preserve the cosmic harmony that seems govern the universe.
Best regards,

Successful person who achieves satisfaction and as a product of his physical and intellectual work, goals and life goals. Likewise personal self-realization and contribution to the physical and spiritual enrichment of their peers, friends and family.
Persona exitosa aquella que logra a satisfacción y como producto de su trabajo físico e intelectual, metas y objetivos de vida. Asimismo la auto realización personal y contribución al enriquecimiento físico y espiritual de sus semejantes, amigos y familia.
Every person who has a better day than his yesterday and makes a positive step forward is a successful person
My view is in order to be a successful person; one should develop the characteristic called “personal quality”.
According to Opatha (2010) personal quality is considered as an essential factor that determines a person’s development, others’ development, institutional development and nation development. Opatha (2010) states that personal quality is perceived as a concept considering of three dimensions such as,
1. Personal Character: the totality of persistent moral qualities a person has
2. Personal Management: the totality of attributes in planning and controlling a person’s life for achieving his or her life goals without wasting time, energy and available resources
3. Personal Key Success Factors: the vital qualities one should possess in order to accomplish a certain target which is desired state to be achieved in future
Reference
Opatha, H.H.D.N.P.,2010. Personal Quality.University of Sri Jayewardenepura.
As I see it, a successful person is a person that is always pursuing the true, the good, and the beautiful.
Note that the true, the good, and the beautiful are univesal categories regardless of how they are seen at different places and times.
Well, the success can be defined in a number of distinct ways. For me, a satisfied person is the most successful person in the world.

Three quotes above "sum up" a successful person....
That who achieves his aims and give his back to withdrawal. Regards.
Successful person is the one who has proper time management and proactive thinking with emotional attachment in what ever he performs as actions.
Hard times will evolve but the person who faces the same with the above qualities and ethical approach would lead by an example.

In my conception, I think that he or she is a particular person, who puts the barriers even more higher when he/she achieves a success (a goal).
Successful person is the one who has 1000 positive solutions for one question.

Success is the ability to achieve personal, professional, and life goals. This is done through proper planning, hard work, and will. The successful person is the person who is capable of making the critical, bold decisions to reach his desired goals.
Yes Mr Subash,
For your honour I reprint the answer as I support all and I will keep these as the reference:

Thanks Sir,
That is a highly subjective question because success is defined differently from country to country.
However, if somebody has reached a level that:
- there is no lack of supposed as common living standards in the country
- there is no feeling of daily life futility
then we can label him/her as a successful person.
A successful person is a person who is contented with his level of achievement earned via a hard work, diligence and honesty (not minding whether or not the world is applauding him/her).
Dear sir
Successful person can never be defined nor can be explained. I think everyone is a successful person. It is our perception that success can be defined. I think success cannot be defined becouse it depends upon on everything one is attached with.
Successful people know exactly when they should change employers, start a company. they have good intuition and aren’t afraid to make hard choices, despite opposing forces.
1.They know when to stay and when to leave.
2.They do more than what’s asked of them.
3.They are willing to fail in order to eventually succeed.
4.They know that they make their own luck.
5.They set real goals that they can accomplish.
6.They take accountability for themselves and their actions.
7.They make change instead of being affected by it.
8.They are able to adjust to changes in the marketplace.
9.They can communicate their story effectively.
10.They ask the right questions to the people who can deliver the right answers. Successful people know they need to solve problems by tapping their networks.
Many thanks dear Dr.Iqbal for asking this important question!!
I think successful person is who trying to live a happy life and to make this world a better place for everyone😊.
I wish success for All

Hi dear,
The successful person in my opinion, is the person who knows the power points and weak points in himself. With these data, he optimize the decisions, efforts, money, time, etc.
This person can arrive to all his goals. Because, he knows what he do, when he do, how he do.
With my best regards!

A successful person is the one who is able to pummel himself and attain his set goals
Being successful is a social, not an individual quality. Of course Adolf Hitler from 1923 to 1945 was very successful. But finally from 1945 on his success has been interpreted different and today nobody would pretend that he has been 'successful' in any meaning.
So what does this change of social perception show?
- The label for a person to 'being successful' is limited to a social situation
- The interpretation of this situation can change every day
- The perception of success is volatile and depends on trends and collective influences
- While this is known for a while there has always been a non-social and mystical definition of success as well such as e.g. Doha featured it in her answer. Being happy or achieving what you desired are things that can happen by your personality alone. But who else will confirm that you're successful in this role? Any confirmation from outside is under influence of it's time, trends, habits and so on. So if you don't achieve the label 'successful' from society - just get it from family, friends and - of course - yourself.
There is gender discrimination in case of success even when occupational attainments are similar, I think a successful person is she/he who has attained set goals in life.
A successful person is one who has achieved what he has desired i.e. he has reached his goal. Successful persons are ambitious and have big dreams and they will never give up until they have attained it. They are always optimistic.
In this planet we are here for very limited time with certain duties, that is to do some good deeds for others, whatever position it doesn't matter. If sincerely and honestly any one can perform these good deeds as per his/her capacity, he/she is the successful person.
Successful people are those who have managed to secure their career by using highly effective habits and through that they have reached the destination of their dreams
A successful person is a goal oriented person, who only focuses on his destination not on struggle. Time, days, nights, hours, struggle do not matter for him, because he devotes himself wholly to fullfill his goal and attain his destination. He is a man who always thinks from his mind, has control over his emotions, and has huge heart to be a helping hand of people. He does not discriminate people while helping. In the last, we can say that a successful person is the most sophisticated person who loves to complete the most difficult challenges.
These are my thoughts , any one can be disagree. Thanks.
