Answer 3

You know, the definition of success lies within the eyes of the beholder. Some believe that success is defined by great wealth and physical possession. Others believe it's within the household of a loving family and friends. Any new college graduate will tell you they have achieved success. I believe it's a balance of all of the above to include moral harmony. I once knew a man whose soul profession was to beg on the street. He did this for many year. He had one daughter that attended school in his home town and the two of them lived "Successfully" in a two bedroom apartment. He died with great wealth. Literally. His daughter to this day is still being looked after financially. I think he'd describe the love of his one and only and his life long work as, "success" When you find your place of happiness, you've found success, and you'll know when you get there without a doubt. Good luck to you...
