well success is in the eye of the beholder. some it means good job,lotof money and personal belongings the best of material things.

some people think that success is rated by how many friends you have,your family and how you take care of them.

some see it as what your accomplishments are

Myself I believe it is a mixture, give or take a few things a good job that pays well,offers benifits ect is almost nessesary in todays world.however i don't need the best clothing,cars,house ect. I don't have many Friends here in jersey,but the ones I do have I can trust.same thing with family ,my wife and son which is a great relationship.Mind you I was born and raised in va and have alot of friends and family there and am close to all of them. I call at least one friend and one family member a night.As for the accomplishments i may not have a brand spanking new car,or a mansion or married with a son and a daugter the model"perfect" family but i am taking care of myfamily and supplying them with what we need and a few things to make life more enjoyable.

short form I see success as being able to get the best quality(not material) life as possible.

Short and simple imho. A person that is happy with himself and his career. Not gaging by what someone else has.

A genuine smile.

I've seen people who are dirt poor, but the happiest most loving people you'll ever meet, and people who are filthy rich and miserable. Vice Versa too.

Success is finding happiness in whatever path you take in life.

i think success is knowing what you want. i dont think its always about attaining it, but more about working towards it.

As long as I am happy...right now I am not happy with my job (trying to remedy that as we speak), but I am engaged to the best girl ever, I own two of my favorite GM cars, and I'm currently looking to buy my own house, so it evens out at the moment

success is getting my baby to goto sleep and my wife to have sex with me

I think if you are happy with your choices in life and you can live with the good and the bad then your atleast a little sucessful. Tough 1 to answer cause your own opinion on that can change one way or the other in the drop of a hat.
