This is what some of our Wiki Contributors have to say:
- Success means an event that accomplishes its intended purpose, such as "We achieved success in the election."
- It can mean a state of prosperity or fame, such as "He is enjoying his success."
- Success can also mean a person who achieves, such as "If you want to be a success, you must work hard."
- Success is having a stable life both medically and financially.
- It not an easy question to answer because I really ask my self the same question - only you know what it mean.
- I was asking myself the same question today. The dictionary definition is "a desired outcome." So that begs the question, "what do I want?" And, "have I been successful in achieving it?" When thinking of the question "What is success?", I guess I think of it in terms of my life. Is my life a success? In order to determine that, I have to consider what it is I value in life. I value friendship. How am I doing with my friendships in my life right now? Well, not so great. I sometimes feel as if I have no one to turn to with particular problems in my life, and no one to share experiences with. What else do I value? I value leisure time. Have I been successful in making the most out of my free time? I would have to say no, lately I've been pissing it away playing Video Games and isolating. I value being creative. Have I been doing that? Not so much, or not as much as I'd like. I value honesty, keeping my Word. I have been struggling with that recently. In this way I define success for myself. Perhaps this quotation might supply the answer: "Madonna had fame but Mother Teresa had success".
Perhaps this definision might supply the answer Madonna had fame but Mother Teresa had success.
