The literal meaning of success is “A performance or achievement that is marked by success, as by the attainment of honors (Dictionary.com). The meaning of success can be defined in many ways. Every person has his or her own interpretation of the meaning of success. It can be interpreted in many ways like being successful is having a lot of wealth, or to finish a level in a game, passing a subject or a test, achieving a personal goal, finding a job, finding love or a family, or even attaining happiness. Everyone has his or her own opinion on success
For many people, success can mean achieving a lot of
wealth. Many people think of success as
having a lot of money, a giant house, owning a beach house, having the latest
technology or gadgets, wearing brand named clothes, having a high social
status, and driving fancy cars. They
work and make more and more money to be wealthy and thus, successful. Many people do this; they work hard and put a
lot of their effort into making more and more money so they can afford the
expensive pleasures in life like shopping and vacationing. I personally don’t think that wealth is the
very definition of success.
Other people, they may define success in a smaller scale,
such as passing a test or a certain subject in school or college. For some people, mainly students, the kind of
success they are hopefully achieving is getting acing or passing all of their
classes and tests. A students’ life can
be very very stressful, they might not have any time to think of bigger means
of success and just mainly focus on their education for the time being. Education is important; it can help you be more
successful in the future. Personally I
think, as a student, this is very important; having a good education to make
more success in the future.
People might also define success as attaining
happiness. Finding happiness in our
lives is what I personally think is what success is. Finding happiness is different for everyone. People might find happiness in money, they
like to shop, buy things, and some might like to do a certain kind of activity,
like a sport. Success can be anything
that makes you happy. It can be
something simple, like doing a hobby or something big, like trying to help
improve the world. It can be anything
that brings out the happiness in people.
I think that being happy in life shows success in his or her life. If you are not happy, are you successful? You might be successful financially, but not
mentally. Wealth is not everything, its
important, but it should not completely consume your life.
Everyone has his or her own opinion on what the definition
of success. There are many other
meanings that people might use to define success for themselves. Everyone is different.
