Hello, well I've been given an assignment in Religion class to define the real term of "success". We've been talking about poverty in poor countries (I mean no offence, if it did offend you), and my teacher said success wasn't being rich, and stuff. Well I've been browsing through my mind to find the true meaning of being successful. I've come up with many thoughts.

Is success being with the people you love?
Is success being rich, cool, and famous?
Is success being happy for YOURSELF?
Is success doing the best you can, and achieving your goals?

Those are some of my ideas.

According to an online dictionary, the definition of success is "The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted: attributed their success in business to hard work."
This definition seems to point out the fact that success is ECONOMIC (directed towards fame and money).
But is that really success?

What are YOUR thoughts on SUCCESS?

I think insight is the source of succes..
So start with selfhonesty... selfforgiveness and selfrealisation !

Success, may mean fame, money, but is not limited to such things. Success is "The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted: attributed their success in business to hard work." So people try/attempt many things, some attempt to gain objects, some spiritual enlighten meant. Mean while others are too busy attempting to survive, can you say they are successful by living another moment, or day? I don't believe there is such thing as success, with out definning what you are truly trying to successed in. Other wise, it's just an achievement of some personal goal, even if you are apart of a group. So, in all understandability, you and your thoughts are correct, as long as they pretain to that specific field, weather it be Family, money, fame, enlightenment, and much more.

You are of very sound mind my friend. Peace be with you.
