Yes....you will really have to decide what successful means to you. Money, glamor, promotions, envy, be able to provide for a family, how many people helped, how many people know your name. There are a thousand other definitions of successful. Give it a lot of thought, a lot. Your definition of successful will pretty much direct you throughout your life. And may change throughout you life.

I hope you mean 'how' with the 'he' ?
'Area in life' is too broad an expression - because it will include your family life, and career, as well. Then your Q will even mean whether it is okay to only succeed in your career while failing in personal life, or vice versa !
Ask a clear Q and you'll get clear Answers, right ?
...Taking it that you meant to ask what field you should choose, to be successful, I'd suggest :
Pick a career that INTERESTS you : Then, even if the initial struggle proves hard, your interest in that field will keep you going on and on, until you have made your mark in that field, and been rated as a success.
Best of luck.

If still in high school, apptitude tests should be abailable in the Guidance office. THere are school-to-work programs, vocational programs, shaddowing opportunities, and the Occupational Outlook handbook is helpful when trying to decide what career would be most interesting to the individual.

Most go the trial and error route. Can be quite a waste.
There are good aptitude tests, but expensive.
Still may be cheaper than errors.

Do you have a job now?If yes,then to be successful would be to study the subject eg.biology or math or accounting which you can apply to work,and if you can apply it to both your job and your personal life that would be a bonus.

good question- i think a lot of people don't know what they want out of life.
Maybe if you look at the things you like doing and see if you can make a living out of any of them?
