Define Successful

[Joshy 4,316 / 43,147]

What does it mean to be successful (ie. have a good wage, awesome job, education)?  Where do you draw the line or what do you look for?  We were discussing this in Discord, and I think it would make an exciting thread.

My answer will always be: Happy. If I am able to live my life and look around and say I am content with it and don't feel worthless, then I will think of myself as successful :D

Being successful is a word for success obviously. It is mostly about how well you do or how good you are on something. Per exemple, if I would be an employer at some place like a trucker per exemple eh? And I would be very good at my job. I would get my load at my destination at the right time and would be prepared. That would state me as being successful at this job.

 

I just described what it meant in some weird way.

What I believe: To be enjoying your life and you believing that you will enjoy the rest of your life.

 Achievement of an action within a specified period of time or within a specified parameter. Success can also mean completing an objective or reaching a goal..

It could also be used to describe an individual that has more objects (money or any other desirable item) relative to another individual. For example, a professional athlete can be called "a success."

I believe that as long as I'm enjoying what I'm doing, and making decent money to live and have a few expenses of my own, then I'm fine.

Being "successful" depends on the individual, but what I personally think successful is just having enough money to live a life where you don't have to wonder when you're next meal is, and having a job that you enjoy.

To me, it means that you're happy about what you're doing with your life and you've achieved your goal. It doesn't matter if you're earning money, as long as you're happy with what you're doing. Heck, if you want to be a porn star, be one. I've seen like interviews on YouTube of girls who became porn stars because they love it, it's their joy. So although it is a bad example, but it is success for them. So, that's my answer.

As long as you're happy, you're successful. End of story.
