Success for me is not just about money and fame, it's more about personal achievements and relationships. success in keeping the household in harmony, success in making employees feel at home, success in educating children, and many more are forms of success for me. as you mentioned that many rich people have broken families or the person is corrupt, that is a form of failure in my opinion.
Topic: What define your success, "money, fame or achievement"? - page 5. (Read 2005 times)
You can never tell a person is successful when he has all the riches and fame, simply because not everyone has the same thinking and life’s goals. For all we know, success does not matter until we hit our life’s satisfaction. But the sad reality is no one gets satisfaction in life no matter how successful he is. I think that’s a human nature, but as long as we chose to be more happy and grateful in all our achievements, that what matters the most.
It's just like this, the word "Success" before you can get it, you must first "Succeed" what is it? these are the trials you/we will go through before you reach what you want. We cannot be successful if we cannot pass "Succeed".So from Succeed - Success - Victory the last one is our final destination to make our life successful in the world.
But, you are also right on another point, because there is indeed something that is born rich, so it means that it is no longer the main goal to get to be successful in life, as it were, Legacy is what we are talking about in this matter.
Let's say it's fame, and you become a world famous movie star, or a rockstar, then what? What will be next after that? That is why it's not always about reaching somewhere, because life goes on, and if you reach there, then you are still alive and you should definitely know what to do afterwards. This is why I agree with "be happy", because it continues, never ends, just forever be happy.
Everyone loves to become a successful being but success definition differs for everyone. Most people see success as being fame and rich. Although money is a huge driving factor for a lot of things and an ultimate measuring stick for whether or not a business is successful but this doesn't fully define success. Success is about claiming and speaking up for what is important to you. Consider these and tell if they are successful.
Success can be interpreted in several dimensions, depending on what someone is pursuing?I mean success is based on achieving something that people are working on, if you are working hard, then the measure of success is results.
If you are building a business, then the level of success is the running of the business perfectly. That's only a small part of the meaning of a success.
There are many rich and famous people who have attempted suicides in their life. If being rich is being successful, then what made them to take such disastrous steps? Sanjay Dutt is a son of a famous politician and is one of the richest celebrities, Sunil Dutt. Still, he is behind lock-up. Is this what we call as success? Many gangstar becomes rich out of crime and corruption but they are not successful in our society. This is part of what causes increasement in crime rate and corruption in the world as everyone want to be rich so as to be called a successful being. A successful man is one who finds his purpose and creates a life where he can fulfill that purpose.
It's just a parable that you mention, not everyone is involved in the problem, every successful person must have a target achievement. In a real sense, success is an achievement, an illustration of cases of violence and corruption, only the involvement of a few people who are not connected to social, cultural and ethical values, so they do things outside of healthy logic. When these values are owned, then the things that encourage someone to commit crimes, will be blocked with these three levelsLet's stop making money and fame the only measure for success. Being successful is being happy and satisfied with ones fully achieved dreams. Money cannot buy satisfaction and happiness. Satisfaction and happiness is the true definition of success and anyone without this can not be declare as being successful.
Success cannot be categorized only in terms of making money or limited to fame. People need peace, comfort and always live side by side as social beings, if three things have been achieved, then the values of success will follow by themselves, as long as the process is followed according to the achievements you want to produce. 
The definition of success is subjective and it differs from person to person where you're asking it. Go in the remote and poor areas and neighborhood and ask them what is success to them, they'll quickly say that success is all about money, fame and riches.
But go to the rich neighborhood where people are already successful and ask them what is success about them, they'll say different answer such as healthy living, long life, happy and complete family and other things that they can be seen in the poor people.
That's why there will be a lot of description when you describe what success is and it will vary on the situation that you're currently sitting.
True. You can never tell a person is successful when he has all the riches and fame, simply because not everyone has the same thinking and life’s goals. For all we know, success does not matter until we hit our life’s satisfaction. But the sad reality is no one gets satisfaction in life no matter how successful he is.

It's just like this, the word "Success" before you can get it, you must first "Succeed" what is it? these are the trials you/we will go through before you reach what you want. We cannot be successful if we cannot pass "Succeed".
So from Succeed - Success - Victory the last one is our final destination to make our life successful in the world.
But, you are also right on another point, because there is indeed something that is born rich, so it means that it is no longer the main goal to get to be successful in life, as it were, Legacy is what we are talking about in this matter.
Success can be defined in many different ways, but it's up to you which one to choose. Success can be achieved when you try your best in all aspects of everything you do, even if that doesn't lead to big results. 
Money can only give you temporary happiness but you'll still seek for other important things that it can't really buy. We can live a luxurious life and still not be contented. For me, success is being satisfied with the way we live regardless of our financial status. We can be poor and still be happy. Contentment is the key to happiness and happiness is also proof of success.
Not that temporary, it'll give us that happiness that we won't be thinking about the finances and other problems in life that mostly require money. So, that happiness will depend on how you perceive it. Although it's true that it lies in the status and happiness based on your financial status, no one I guess wants to be out of money and still be happy dealing with the problems that are mostly needing money for you to solve it. Like your daily needs, food, housing, those basic necessities. 
Money is vital if you want to survive in this life, but having a lot of money still cannot guarantee that you will succeed. Money can buy everything but can't buy real happiness for you, money can't buy health for you and your parents when time never stops. To be successful, you just need to make sure that you have money, health and love from your loved ones. Don't put too much emphasis on money.
It's true what you said, because regardless of anything nowadays money is an important part of life.Even though there are many people who always say that money does not guarantee happiness, but come on, we don't need to be naive about it because indeed to support a better life we need money for it.
Right now I might say it's very difficult to live without money there. But in this case it doesn't mean we worship God but we have to be realistic because indeed we will not live if we don't have money because they are an important resource for now.
CONCLUSION
Let's stop making money and fame the only measure for success. Being successful is being happy and satisfied with ones fully achieved dreams. Money cannot buy satisfaction and happiness. Satisfaction and happiness is the true definition of success and anyone without this can not be declare as being successful.
Satisfaction. A word that you can't apply to people TBH. Why? When a person achieved one and got satisfied into it, that person will find another thing that will satisfy them, and the cycle keeps going forever. People will never satisfy with one thing. They will find another way to satisfy them.Let's stop making money and fame the only measure for success. Being successful is being happy and satisfied with ones fully achieved dreams. Money cannot buy satisfaction and happiness. Satisfaction and happiness is the true definition of success and anyone without this can not be declare as being successful.
As for being successful, for me it's subjective because different people have different definition of success. For some, they are successful already when they are happy and satisfied. For me, being successful is when you achieve financial freedom. When the point comes where money will not a problem to you anymore. For me, as long as I don't have any problem financially and I'm happy with what I'm doing then I can consider myself successful already.
Having no money and longing for money is a mental challenge too - hard to cope. So let's be clear that money is the most important thing is life and private life is a good choice.
Fame is expensive - very very expensive.
Money is vital if you want to survive in this life, but having a lot of money still cannot guarantee that you will succeed. Money can buy everything but can't buy real happiness for you, money can't buy health for you and your parents when time never stops. To be successful, you just need to make sure that you have money, health and love from your loved ones. Don't put too much emphasis on money.
Even when everyone has his or her own point of view towards success, everyone's end goal should be happiness, because even if you have money, fame or achievement you need to be happy with them before you can enjoy them.
This reminds me of one of pareto's quote in his book, "the 80/20 principle"
He said, if there a trade off between happiness and achievement, choose happiness.
So fucus on things that are more important to you first.
Your happiness is the must important thing because there is no reward in doing something you doesn't enjoy.

Success cannot really be measured any other way except from subjective viewpoints. And those are different for every single person on earth. Everyone sees success differently. A person with good health sees success in the quantity of money or material belongings. A person with crippling terminal health issues sees success as having lived to see yet another sunrise. The most dangerous thing we really do, which messes with the mental and emotional state of people is to force our views of success unto them. And unfortunately that is exactly what is happening to us that makes us so miserable. We need to stop that.
Personally, I see success in Bitcoin.
That is correct people see success differently. As you mentioned about health Personally, I see success in Bitcoin.
And I once read Dali Lama quote when my father was admitted in hospital -where he mentioned the strange reality of me -
He loses his health running after the money and then he uses the same money to gain his health.
- he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy present - he lives as if he never going to die and dies if he dies as if he has never lived.
You can never tell a person is successful when he has all the riches and fame, simply because not everyone has the same thinking and life’s goals. For all we know, success does not matter until we hit our life’s satisfaction. But the sad reality is no one gets satisfaction in life no matter how successful he is. I think that’s a human nature, but as long as we chose to be more happy and grateful in all our achievements, that what matters the most.
It is a human nature, indeed. In fact, we, humans, have evolved to be like this. When I was a little kid, my life goal was to surround myself with chocolate and eat it all the time. I thought I didn't need anything else. Fast-forward to a grown-up man who can actually afford that kind of living, but it turns out that he needs much more than that. ... We are never fully satisfied, and it's a good thing. That's why we have progress, the constant improvement of the world around us.
He did this from around his 30's to until his 60's, the place he owned became more and more modern and someone paid him millions of dollars in the 90's, or early 2000 times, and he sold it and retired and he took up painting and just lived a happy life without wanting more. So, there are people who do not want more.
My father could be considered one of them too, he worked as an employee of a logistic company for 32 years, and then retired at age of 55 and just watches TV and sleeps and drinks coffee and reads the newspaper and watches reality tv shows all night and I haven't seen anyone happier than him. So, not everyone wants millions or wealth or non-stop riches to satisfy their needs.
Satisfaction and happiness is the true definition of success and anyone without this can not be declare as being successful.
There are many aspects that determine a person's success. Some people find their happiness in the material aspects of life such as money, fame, and achievements.
My view is that there are far more important things in life than just money and accomplishments. In my opinion, being happy in what you do and finding pleasure in the simplest things can bring a far greater sense of satisfaction than fame or a fat bank account can offer.
The main secret is to never give up and keep running, which means your new personal goal. just added.
CONCLUSION
Let's stop making money and fame the only measure for success. Being successful is being happy and satisfied with ones fully achieved dreams. Money cannot buy satisfaction and happiness. Satisfaction and happiness is the true definition of success and anyone without this can not be declare as being successful.

I agree with you that money is not a good measure of success. There are many people who are being born into a wealthy family and never have to worry about money in their life. I wouldn't call inheriting large sums of money as being successful. In case you are a self made man than its different, but still money is no guarantee for happiness. What if you or one of your close family member becomes ill and there is no cure? It doesn't matter how much money you have if you can't enjoy it. In my opinion good relationships with your family and everybody being healthy is much more important and will lead to more satisfaction than all the money in the world. It seems success is a very wide defined word that people interpret differently. We should work on our own happiness and success and not what other people think of us

Personally, I see success in Bitcoin.
It's simple, for me success in this world is when I can be happy with everything I have and be grateful for it.
The success I want is when I can feel calm in life, can worship without feeling chased by work or other worldly things, can be grateful for what I have, and can live life to the best of my ability.
And it is undeniable, money can indeed make us happy, but it cannot guarantee our happiness, because happiness is not only a matter of money that can make our lives calm, happy and also peaceful.

Today's environment ignores the small wins that bring happiness and focuses on the large things that create internal peer pressure. Social media has even made it worse today that the youth follows what others do and take them as their role model. Sadly, this is not how real life operates. In order to be happy, you must be contented with what you have, and if you are, the wealth of others won't bother you at all. I still believe that achievement encompasses both fame and wealth, if you work hard and smart, you will definitely accomplish them over time.
things that they could see into those platforms.Im not saying its totally bad but eventually this could really give out that kind of effect if someone wont really be that careful or should be sticking into their own
principles in life on which you do let other things do really convinced or make it as an inspiration.
Its true that it would be better to do things on normal ways that would be in line with your principle and dont get yourself that too influenced.

Success is so much more than money and isn't money in and of itself. I would say to look at money as the base because once the financials are in order, it's much easier to focus on and give more time everything else- family, friends, etc. However, it's hard to be successful without money.
The benchmark for success is different for everyone, because people whose lives still look simple in the eyes of others can also be said to be successful as long as they don't have debts or loans that they have to pay off every month. And every income earned can be directly enjoyed for every need they need, because they live without any pressure on them.When people focus only in money they go through thorny paths, become cold as ice and forget about their roots. After all they become unhappy, because that has never been what they were supposed to do in life.
