Success Happy

What is the difference between a successful person and others?

The difference between a successful person and others is not lack of knowledge or not lack of strength, but lack of WILL. Do you agree this

1. a scucessful person looks happy. A person who lives a nice good life and has money to get things then u would look at them and say 'Hey that guy looks great'. they are just that kind of person.
2. I completely agree with this. It encompasses all definitions of 'successful.' One may think a person is successful because they have EARNED (not inherited) a lot of money. Financially, these people are successful. Yet, the person may be unsuccessful in a miriad of other ways. What about the person who works VERY hard just to put food on the table? Financially, the person is not as successful as the 'rich' guy in the paragraph above. However, this person may be/feel successful in other ways: success in providing a loving and happy home, for instance. One may be successful or unsuccessful in so many ways that have nothing to do with money. Yet, what every successful person has, like you said, is WILL.
3. To me a successful person is one who is living a happy, contented life, is not prejudicial not judge mental etc. This person is happy in what ever rung of life he is, because he doesn't hate anybody or fear anything. That does not mean that this applies to only a certain group of people. Look at Bill Gates and his wife. Wealthy people who are getting much joy of spreading their wealth to those who are in distress. Then there are people who are poor, but are always happy and thinking of others. Having a lot of money does not mean you will choose to be happy. It is what is going on in your head that makes for a "successful person.
4. Success is relative. It depends on the person. One who gets what he wants considers himself successful and that makes him happy. If a person's goal in life is simply to have a good family life, he may not view a very rich person as successful if the family of that person is disastrous. I, myself, consider myself lucky not because of money but because I believe I have reached my goal; have done my part... giving my kids a solid emotional, spiritual and educational foundation that will lead them into a good future.
5. Success should not be measured by material possesions. In my opinion success is your inner ability to realize and act on your positive thoughts. As long as a person deeply and truely loves who they are, that is the greatest success of all. You will not find a person who loves themself acting out on destructive behavior. Once you find self love you will be motivated to search out new possiblilities for your life. It also does not matter what others think of you either. My succes is different from your success. As long as we are happy and giving thats all that matters.
6. Being successful...is doing what makes you happy..in your life..and being happy...Living each day to the fullest...And being a good person..and Helping others to be happy....in their lives...
