Success Happy - 'Successful'?

'Successful'?

I have 3 A levels - AAB, a degree in Ocean Yachting and am working towards a PhD in criminal physcology. I am a qualified SuperYacht captain and have sailed the world, i own and rent property on a global scale. I am fluent in 4 languages and studying another (Cantonese). Would you say i was 'successful'?

You're still a virgin, so no.
Yeah....who wouldn't....Only Einstein may have thought otherwise....Good Luck Buddy with many more years of feeding your brain....
if you are happy with your pursuits and where you are in life, i would say you're successful. i have a measly BA and have never been on a yacht, but i consider myself to be very successful.
You are successful when you have goals and then you reach and complete those goals. So, if everything you have achieved were your prior goals then yes you are successful =)
No and you will never be successful as long as you are looking to others to figure out if you are successful or walking around trying to impress others with this stuff. "Success" in life has little to do with the things you have highlighted --- notice not one is about who you really are --- just what you have. Psych major should know better --- maybe you need to review some notes or look for a new program!
not necessarily. you cant ask that question because you only know the answer to it. either you are showing off or you want to understand why you dont feel content/satisfied or happy even after achieving all those things. success can be defined in many different ways. my personal definition includes some kinda peace from within where i can be honest with myself. i would like to lie on my deathbed and think "you only live once and i think i lived my life" and die smiling.
Success is discovering God's will for your life and fulfilling it. If you have done that and have inner peace then yes you are successful.
It would seem you have been vary success full but I wonder why you would be on Y/A asking approval of total strangers. Perhaps you don't feel as success full as you want. We all measure success differently and each individual must be the final judge of how we have lived our lives.
If those are the things you wanted to achieve, then sure. The concept of success is meaningless except in the context of some specific goal.
Well, I can see a "professional success." With that said, true success is found within "balance of personal (and) professional success." You cannot keep one, without the other. And also, understanding "what that success was built off of ": circumstance (or) time-tested principles. Only one of these will truly last. Many Blessings, Carol
