What is Success?

Was talking to someone and he happen to talk about "how come xyz person is like this but still so successful", but what is success? If you are in IT field is it that someone got good salary and designation? If you are in business, does it mean that success is how much revenue he made? If you are in sports, does it means that how much score you hit or how famous you became?

When I thought about it, I realized that Success is a very relative term, for someone, a saint might be very successful and for someone else a business man might be successful.

What is your definition of success? I won't be surprised if your picture of successful people reflects the one in your field or industry, but is it the real success?

Well it might be, but do you think somewhere deep in our hearts, success is something which we want for us and we see that the other person has achieved it?

Is Success something which is relative to what we want and how do we look at the world?

Regards,
Rahul

Success is a relative term and to each his own. But can it be said that it is directly proportional to achievement (relative again) combined with contentment?

Success is, having an aim and achieving it.

Aims can differ for different people. But we, in India specially, teach our kids to look at others and compare and try to get ahead. So when they grow up they continue to execute the same program etched in their minds. We all suffer because of it.

success in my view is not a relative term..
any person who achieves certain benchmarks, he/she becomes successful...
benchmarks differ from field to field but when we define success than it will simply be achievement of that benchmark!!
