I'm considred a loser I do drugs, I dont have a job(I'm in college), I spend most my day on the internet. But I'm a good person, I help the needy, I treat people nice, I care about the enviorment, I dont hurt animas I really dont need a lot of money and I really dont like money. But because of my lack of ambition to be rich one day my family and friends categorize me as a loser. Do you thik that make me a loser?? Are you considered a loser or a winner at life and why????

No, I don't think you're a loser. I personally define success as doing something that you like and being good at it. You don't necessarily have to make a lot of money doing it, but if you enjoy it and it completes your life, then you've become successful. If you can die today and not have second thoughts about your actions, then that should be all. There are so many people that make a lot of money out there, but they lack families, happiness in their marriages & personal lives, etc. Success shouldn't be measured on how much money you make. Hope this helps...

My idea of success would be doing something worth while and completing it with the hard work and determination to produce an expected result of what effort I had put in it.
Being nice and help people is doesn't mean that you are a loser. The reason why your family would think that you are a loser is for the sheer fact that you don't have a job and you are in college supported by your family's money.
The lack of ambition you have is because you are lazy. Since you like helping people and being nice to them, why don't you look for a job that makes you involved and help other needy people. That way your family will get off your tail and start respecting you even more.

A loser sponges off other people - making others responsible for their rent, electricity, food, clothes, etc. - and often doesn't even realize it. A loser is someone who doesn't really drop out of society, they just selfishly do what they want and don't consider the kind people who are doing the work and footing the bill.
It's one thing to not make money - but there is other work to be done to maintain a family home etc. If you don't contribute financially, perhaps you contribute by doing chores (cooking, cleaning, etc.) or in some other way helping to ease and improve the lives of you and your family - or whoever it is supporting you. Not having money doesn't make you a loser if you contribute in ways that are valuable to others in the family or community.
Peace!

Often, money is linked to success when it's not always like that. Money should be linked to quality of life instead, because usually if you're better off, you're quite literally better off (usually). Of course, the man with a $1,000,000 is always worried of thieves as the ancient chinese proverb goes.
Success to me is a personal gain that you are proud of in yourself. If you achieve a goal, then that is a success.
In a different context, success IN LIFE is happiness. If you are happy, what more do you need? If you're hungry then you're not happy, and so on and so forth so it's not like I'm being oblivious to obvious necessaties.
Happiness is the ultimate goal, right?

my idea of sucess is getting what i want out of life and out of school.I don't think u're a loser because u don't have a job as a matter of fact i know u're not a loser, but you must stop doing drugs and stop lowing your selfesteem, u r what u tell u're self u r.Try telling u're self u r a winner and no matter what people say about u,u will hold u're head up high.Show u're family and friends that u can make something of u're life.I'm not considered as a loser because even if people say that i'm a loser behind my back and i hear people saying that alot i don't let it get me down i hold my head up high and prove to them i am not a loser.

You are not a loser. People have their own definitions of success. I'm not impressed by rich/famous people nor do I want to be like them for they have their own problems. Find out what drives/motivates you. Go for those things that YOU are passionate about. There, I think, is where you will find your success.

Actually... I don't think you're a loser. In fact, if I knew you in person, you'd be a likely target for my flirtation...
Success is finding satisfaction in anything. I like to live large while still savoring the little things...

I think people who reach their goals are successful. its not a monetary thing it is a self fulfilling thing. My goal was to own a home again on my own after a nasty divorse. Being a single mom and working my butt off, I did it. Took many many years, but I did it and I feel strong because I hit my goal.
I don't know you, I won't judge you, but drugs will hurt you eventually.

what is important to you? if you are doing what is important to you then why care what other people's definitions are?
perhaps doing drugs is what they are concerned about instead of the money issue. you seem like a caring person but there is something that is bothering you or you would not be asking this question.
what is really going on and what are you really asking of yourself?
