"Victor Frankl said ,'Success, like happiness, cannot be pursued. It must ensue. And it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself.' Once you know what your life's work is, your world will automatically come alive. You day will be filled with a limitless reservoir of energy and enthusiasm. And all your thoughts will be channeled on your definite objective. Anyone out there who has this experience to share? |

I've read SO many definitions of, and thoughts about, SUCCESS over the years. But every time, I still keep coming back to my most favorite definition of all - - - Click => http://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~saito/success.html Sincerely / Peter A. |

Hi, I think success is when you are finally at peace. When you can finally look life in the eye, and it doesn't matter what happens - you are at peace. You are happy and living in the moment, not in the past, not the future, but in that moment in time. When you really connect like that, that is success to me. |

Thanks Peter! Success can be defined in many aspects and not just a single entity. Ralph W Emerson summed it up beautifully. Thanks for pointing this out. I asked my kid the same question, she said success to her is to win the next match. So success could well be a journey and not a destination itself. How many of you out them actually stop the pursuit you reach your goals? Sincerely, Keen H | |

To me Success is ever changing and wonderful... Since one day success is waking up in the morning and planting my two feet on the floor. Another day success is seeing the smiles on my kids faces. And yet another day it's seeing good for all my hard work. |

Success = Happiness. I don't care who you are, but if you're not happy in life, what has been the point? Different things may bring about happiness to different people, but as long as you are happy, you've been a success. |

A definition of success I heard recently and which I really like is "when I feel at peace with me". For me that one really sums things up ... when I'm at peace, I've had a really good and successful day. Warren |

I measure success on daily basis or weekly basis. If I market a product or participate in a new launch, I generally give myself goals. When i reach these goals it's a level of success. I then restructure the goals and start over. I also look at what I have, time, energy and feelings. If i enjoy what i do, the time I spend, and take Vacations when i want, then I have a different level of success. oh yeah and making my wife happy. |

| You offer a different perspective here on success. Yes, indeed success is relative and should be measure based on one own standard. Comparison will only leads to unhappiness and the elusiveness of one's success.

Success is knowing that, whatever happens in your life - 'good' or 'bad' - that it's all just a 'game' that we should take on with relish, rather than fighting against by wanting something that we haven't got. To Our Success! (whatever YOUR definition is!) Gary |

I look at success from two perspectives. First, accomplishing not only what you have set out to do, but what others think you can never do. Second, I see success as making others to succeed, and grooming a successor. Samson Adeyekun |

Success to me , really means to serve God in my life to help others who need help. I try never to be pushy, but open to Gods will to help a brother or sister. In fact making money is about 5 slots down on my list and yet I have done very well selling online.

| I honestly have to say that your first one: Making a lot of money without hardworking.. To me that ISN'T success. I guarantee you that if you talked to anyone who considers them themselves successful, they'll tell you that they did it through perseverance, determination, and hard work. To sit back and hope that you'll find some secret out there that will deliver buckets of cash to you without even getting your hands dirty is the most failure-oriented idea one can have.

Success to me means peace of mind. When i am at peace with myself and when there is no stress in my mind for future. Success to me means spending as much time as i want with my family without thinking about finances. Success to me means relishing and enjoying all activities/sports i used play and enjoy when i was a child without thinking or worrying about the expenses i might incur because of that. |

It is difficult to define success. What success is to me, may be different to others. So, success, as far as I am concerned, is to be able to do what I like, something that gives me mental solace, and at the same time not hurting others, need not be materialistic, yet I should be able to spend each day with a satisfaction that the day has gone according to my plan and to my satisfaction. Then I might call my life a success!!

Good question! Success to me is having the choice to do what I want and being able to give back to the community/society. So I guess it means financial freedom (in my view from multiple sources - such as the Internet : )). It means have choice over what I do in the day and knowing that when I work I am responsible for the results and the payback. It means giving back to the community - actively and through sponsorship (eg I want to be able to sponsor some places at Outward Bound. It means a family. |

To me success is complete autonomy over my life. I have the freedom to not work if I don`t want to and still get paid, and while I don`t expect completely passive income I do have the ability to take days off whenever I want or take a vacation whenever I want. I have the freedom to work wherever I want, so if I want to visit my family in Canada I can do that without asking for permission from a boss. I have the time to pursue my hobbies or new busines ventures to whatever extent I wish, while still living off of income from my projects already in motion. Freedom, baby! |

Well, success to me is just simply the ability to be your own boss and have an income that allows you to do whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it. Basicaly the abililty to sit on your but all day long and not answer to anyone because i would be the boss ![]() And yes, of course we can't forget family and friends that you can share your success with Also tithing/sowing to every place i can becausethat is just how it should be And your supposed to give anyways because it's God's money. (Every single thing that exists is his because he created it.) And when you do give, God gives back to you the money multiplied for helping others.And lastly, once you do give, it takes time before you receive back from God. It's not going to come back to you when you want it, it's going to happen when the time is right and then God will provide it to you. I've done it, and it does work ![]() Patience is a must ![]() SEO-IM7 |
