I agree, and I think that being able to learn from their mistakes and knowing when something is wrong or right is successful; also, being successful is knowing every cloud has a silver lining. Being successful can mean many things, and the meaning of life is search the success.

I do not agree with your because, throughout history, there has been knowledge of people who started with little to no money but ended up making big money or great acts for humanity.

For being successful it is not necessary to process of having money; furthermore, to be successful is being the best in what your purpose turn around. Money comes Asa drop of hat, but you actually start thinking is money is your real purpose?. The most important is to believe in what you want to really make not in what the most of society turn around.

Practically you can't be success in life with out money. That is because the society and the economy work toward. Therefore money would be the motor of the progress in life. The harmed are poor people because there will not be success in Colombia with out economical resources. We need money in our lifes.

To be successful in life is not about having all the many of the world and all the amenities that not all the people have. Being successful in life means that you accomplish all the goals you propose in a beginning that make you a real human and happy.

Gahndi wasnt a rich man and he achieved the goals he had for himself and the indian society

Money isn't everything and let me explain an hypothetical situation in which you had lot of money but any affect in their life. Money is important, and another situation in which you have all the love and happiness, everyone would like, but you don't have any money. The success for me is having the ones you love and enough money for having what you really want with out being greedy.

To be successful in life means that you have to love what you do, you have to be respectful with the other people, you have to share with all the people, it doesn't matter if it cost an arm and a leg, and finally always be happy.

Being a succesful person, for society is the one that has a big amount of money;however, i think that a succesful person is the one that do what he likes; eventhough, he don't before rich, but his goal is to be different and fight to do esta he likes.

I believe being a successful person doesn't mean being rich. Maybe, in some cases, money is also part of being successful but, it isn't the main thing. I think being successful is doing what you always dreamed. Accomplishing that special goal you always dreamed about. And, I also think happiness should be the most important part of being successful.

I believe we can not measure others people success, as well as judging someone as succesful or not. Only one can measure oneself's success. You see yourself either as a successful or unsuccessful person depending on what your view of "success" is. Success is not anything else than accomplishing a desired aim or result. It doesn't matter if your aim is to be happy, or to be rich, or to find love, once your perseverance and will makes you accomplish your goals you must consider yourself successful, and it doesn't matter what are the other's views on it.

Through out all our life we have lived under the wrong idea and concept of a successful life, which is impose by our adults, politicians, presidents and even parents. It is necessary to  eradicate this wrong conception of the term and finally understand once and for all that being successful doesn't mean be a studied person, have a degree or a specialize education. It is simply just a manner of 1) have clear what you want to make out from your life, 2) persevere 3) hard work and optimism and 4) do not allow anyone or anything tell you you'll not succeed.

You can discover you are successful, if the things you do you like makes you happy. However, being happy it's not the principal thing in life, it's having your expectations and goals at the top. In which both of them may be always your motor for being a better person.

If you are not happy, you can't accomplish all your dreams and expectancies.

In my opinion to be successful it's not only the monetary part,but also is the way in which I you can progress in what you really want, also in what your purpose is and what really import is that if you think you are successful in what you make you are going to go over others .

This why there's such a big gap in society due to the economical status; furthermore,being poor or rich isn't something permanent suddenly you could lose your job or be in bakrupcy. Goals are not the same for everyone, some people may not necessarily dream of buying things that cost an arm and a leg, but having a family, doing charity or dedicating their life to religious purposes and those personal, non-material goals involve commitment and time rather than money.

We all know we live in a world ruled by money, and that unfortunately, nowadays money can buy everything, even success. But do you really believe poor people can not accomplish their goals at all?

Halle Berry, American actress and former model. She won an academy award on 2002 for her performance in Monster's Ball, becoming the first woman of color to win an academy award for a leading role. According to "therichest.com" she has an estimated net worth of $70 million. That for sure is being rich. But has she always been that rich? No. When she moved to Chicago, chasing after her dreams. She had to stay in a homeless shelter, without a single dollar on her pocket. As she, many other of the most "succesful" people were once poor, broke or homeless. They've built their fortune, penny by penny, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't easy at all.

I think succes is gained through intellignece and perseverante, because there is a saying that ways: “there are geniuses without primary education and idiotas with a doctorate", which means that al is viven to discipline and dedicación, not to money.

being successful in live is to be happy with it. To be successful you have to like what you like and do it because you like it not just for the money. Because life is very short for not spending it in something you like

Success is a concept that can mean something different to each person. In my opinion success consists of getting the kind of life you want, the life that will make you happy. A life that you feel content with what you have and what you have achieved, reaching your goals.

To achieve the goals that you have set in your lifetime. Is when you want to do something and you end up doing it. It not only means to have money, because yes is important a too. But is also to be happy with what you do, to not be stressed, to travel and not staying in the same place or position. The ball is in you court, is what you will like to do in what is rest of your life and obviously to accomplish it.

Being successful in life means having achieved your own personal goals, personally and professionally. Some people want a lot of money and to travel and shop. Some other people want just a simple life with a family and a job, whatever your goals are, you can consider yourself successful if you achieved them 100%

In the life is important to maintain the equilibrium in all aspects for that reason, the success people understand this, they are in harmony with themselves and with others, and they have time, which is the most valuable resource, they have health and money for helping others and enjoying the beautiful things of the life, the money is important in the area where it works.

being successful in life more than being rich, powerful or incredibly big in the buisness industry, is all about being happy with whatever you do , because being rich has no sense if you are not happy with what you do, are and how you live.

Succes is when you have reached the pinnacle of your happiness, dreams and goals. being successful is relative however as you can be successful in love but not within money. But you have to know that success isn't always related to money; nonetheless it is an issue that embraces success.

Be succesfull in live means to manage to fullfill all your objectives, because a succesfull person previosly to be succesfull had to make a very big effort but that effort in the future can make you have things you want that is beacuse doing the things good in a honest way gives you all what you want for live.
