Success is different to each and every person. We all define success our very own way. It highly depends on what we believe in, or based from our personal background or simply based on our goals and dreams in life.
For business people, success is about having lots of profits.
For parents, it is there success to assure their child's education.
For inventors, success is about creating an invention that will solve other people's problem.
For employment oriented person, success is about having a stable job.
For a medical person, success is about healing someone.
For the general public, success is about owning a car and a house
How we define success is based on our beliefs. If I for example think in a mediocre manner, no doubt that I would probably view success just by having a stable job. On the other hand, if I am a motivated person, success would be earning millions :-)
The question is, why do we have different views of success? From my latter studies, I came to the realization that people's view of success highly depends on their satisfaction. Its not just about money, gadgets, appliances, houses, cars or any other material things. It is all about being satisfied from what we have. If we are satisfied having a $10k income, then earning that money is probably a success for us. Have you not noticed that many of the retiring people nowadays say that they are retiring successfully? It is simply because they have enough money to live each day. They have a house that will give the shelter and a car that will give them a ride.
Again, Success is about being satisfied!
The main point here is that you should personally know what satisfies you. It is better to know it earlier so that you would know how you will gauge your achievements and success.
