    How do you define Success?

    My definition of success is being able to do what i want, whenever i want, where i want, with who i want, without any limits! I think Success is also defined by how many people you help, become successful! The more people you help the more successful you ultimately become! In my opinion . So if your hurting people you'll get hurt! I also think success is a Process and not a destination, unlike what most people may think! Can anyone give me there definition of success?

    Success is defined differently by everyone. Many people think more about it in financial terms, but that can lead to unhappiness and lack of fulfillment. Think about all areas of your life and see where you can feel comfortable about the level of success you have achieved.

    If you have had health issues at any time in your life, you understand that no amount of money can make up for poor health. After dealing with cancer and other ailments, I know that no amount of money can make up for not having good health.

    Relationships are also a way that we feel successful in our lives. Dealing with friends, co-workers, and family members in a positive and mutually respectful way can add to our own sense of self-worth.

    for me it's probably an etymological definition
    i feel that success is a noun used to describe the process of succeeding another person, whether that may be in business or elsewhere
    ..people get old, they retire, die and others succeed them in their place
    so, from this perspective i feel that it's somewhat relevant for people to choose who they want to succeed for the purposes of finding success
    ..easier said than done of course

    Success is when you've achieved your goals and found happiness, regardless of what those goals are. In your case OP, success if the ability to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want, etc... that does not equate to success for everyone else. Everyone has different goals, therefore, success should be defined as the achievement of those goals for each and every person and as long as that leads to happiness, that is success.

    I guess i will understand the true meaning of success once i experience it.

    We have different goals and achievements, what is important is at least you experience how to sacrifice in order to achieve all your goals.

    Success for me is when I feel fulfilled, simple as that. One way to measure success would be through financial figures - this is not what defines the success, but rather an indication of some aspect of your success.

    However we define success let's not forget that "Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. Courage is what counts." (Sir Winston Churchill)

    Dear jonathanfigaro,

    Success can be defined in many ways.

    To me one who is happy can be called a success.
    Massive success to you.

    Right action on right time is the best way to become successful in life's every areas. Very hard work and presence of mind need to become successful in everything like personal, professional, social, etc. If you are living a stress & tension free life then it is the ultimate success.

    The meaning of Success comes in many forms and it depends on what the people are searching for, whether in business, profession, career etc.. But True Success is simply the attainment of one's goal.

    Success financially would be being in control of enough wealth that you can live comfortably without worrying about too much.

    However success over all I would say is happiness, and I think that if someone is remembered after they have passed and their legacy is carried on after they're gone their life was a successful life.

    But I'm just 19, I haven't lived enough to know what success is on a greater scale.

    For me success is about doing something that I enjoy. It could be the marketing and selling of a product that I love. It doesn't matter what product that I am selling, I have realised, it is the process of it and the challenge of it that I strive for. Of course, selling a product that you believe in helps.

    When I can say that I have a semi-passive income is when I can say that I am successful. Having to work 5 hours and day and earn enough to pay off a house completely and holiday freely. That is what I am working towards.
