Why do different cultures have such radically different ideas about the nature of success? What do YOU consider to be success?

Fascinating, isn't it. Spiritual values and toys....
Buddhist: the one who gives up all desire for toys, wins
Jain: The one who doesn't harm any souls on the toys, wins
Hindu: The one who comes to the realization that they no longer need toys, wins.
Zoroastrians: Only Zoroastrians will inherit the toys.
Daoist: The one who realizes that for everyone who has a toy, there is someone who does not, wins.
Muslim, Jew, Christian- the ones with the most oil (toys) wins, but you can't take it with you, and you really should acknowledge Allah, Yaweh, or God as the source of inspiration for all toy making, five times a day or so....

Yes, different culture have a different ideas about the nature of success,
but all definitely points to the Success itself.
May be the nature of ideas are different, but the final destination is the same.
For example :- there may be 7 roads, but ultimatley it may reach to one single destination.
Different cultures follow different values.
They may prefer their values to be the best.
But I say all the Spiritual values are to be destinated to one single point, i.e. SUCCESS.
You have choose any of the spiritual values.
Good Luck.
I would say Don't go to the different types of ideas, rather take one IDEA (whichever you like) and follow to a great SUCCESS.

What sort of toys I wonder. Success eh? Each day that begins again for me is success by my way of measuring. I believe the collection of memories and moments that we experience all that fills our lives is success as well, a life well lived upon the terms set by the person living the life. Works for me anyway. Oh yes, and any opportunity that I get to dance, with a lovely lady or by myself; that's success too!

The best that we can aspire to pass on to anyone is the example you made and left of yourself that describes what kind of a person you were when you left. One hopes it is something positive and that the people that matter most to us will want to carry with them when we are gone and hopefully want to give away again when they pass.
