Success Happy

Do you equate success with a persons financial assets? What is your idea of a successful person ?

I'm interested in knowing how do you think of success, and what makes a person successful. Does a being a billionaire regardless as to how you came about your money mean you are successful? Did you think Mother Theresa was successful? Do you wish you were Donald Trump? Can a Mother with 6 children who have all been a contribution to society be considered a successful person? I would love to hear your ideas on what you think makes a successful person.

1. someone who has no regrets, and is not ashamed of the life they lived. $ means nothing.
2. I think a successful person is a person who is happy whatever their walk of life. Just my opinion though.
3. I think a successful person is one who is happy and who has a positive influence on the lives around them.
4. Every culture has a different standard of beauty, let's get that clear first. In some places long necks are beautiful, in some places it is the love for the family that shows a person's beauty, in other places it is the material things we possess that make us stand out. But even what a society thinks as a whole does not a define a personal choice or preference. Perhaps in the western world we do emphasize the physical looks which go hand in hand with material things more than we ought to; yet, ask one person out of one hundred and he might say "I love the inside of a person." He stands out. So let me stand out of the crowd: true beauty for me is always made up of a person's inner being, their attitude, their soul, their desires. A person who is hailed for their outer beauty alone is void of the true beauty that we should all try to possess. You could be the prettiest person on the outside but so empty within. Where is the beauty in that? Success is not the same as beauty. I noticed you put successful, the Trumpster, etc. Some people consider success to be beauty but I don't. Success is becoming victorious at the end of it all. Being able to achieve something greater than you never had before. Physical beauty is good, it's nice. We see the outside first and that's okay but imagine how different the world would be if we saw inside. Well I know we'd finally start working, that's for sure.
