Is wealth the only measure of success?

Answer 1

It's the only measurement that matters...kidding.

Wealth can mean many things; family wealth, health, status, career fulfillment...etc.

Personally though, I like to measure success by the bank account.

Answer 2

No, wealth is not the only measure of success. Many people have wealth but some of them are known as successful person in their life. There are so many duties & works to be accomplished in the human life. Work for our society & country, social services for disabled people & help to the old age citizens give satisfaction at the last atage of our life. Only money earning or making wealth is not enough to be successful.

Answer 3

I don't believe that wealth is the only measure of success. People measure success in many different ways. Someone can be rich but it doesn't mean that they are wealthy.

Answer 4

No.

First we need to define Wealth. Is it money? Friendship? Happiness?

If it is money, it can be a measure of economical success.
Happiness? It can be the measure of success in the things you like to do, and you dedicate to do.

You must remember, wealth doesn't bring success. And success doesn't always bring wealth. (example, You can become very successful in your business, but very unhappy. Or you can be very rich, but have no real success, you haven't been able to succeed in the things you want to.

Answer 5

The meaning of word "success" is not one entity, successes are in different fields, aspects for example wealth, money, exams., inventions, sports activities etc.etc. I believe success in any field depends on your aptitude and aims and goals with application of the required efforts . Without efforts no success can attain.

Therefore, I suggest you to select field/fields first to find success and apply required efforts/tools to reach successs, Then you carry on in every steps taken to measure and see whether you attained success. So the answer is, wealth is not only the measure of success but there are may more.

Answer 6

Measure of sauces varies as per individual perception and mind set.
Lets take an example - We say SANJAY DUTT is successfully as he is wealthy but still to his hard luck he is struggling to keep his fame ( jails and stuff ). on the counter side we say Mother Teresa she is successful, if we are not wrong she has left every comfort and was doing Charity work, so where is the wealth.
We completely be live in the theory if you have inner satisfaction and you have achieved your set goals then you are successful.
We are living life our our self not for showing others we are this and we are that.
Inner satisfaction bring happiness, one who has learned how to be happy is the best . Rest monetary gains and wealth are secondary.

Be happy achieve your goals .

Answer 7

i guess happiness is the best measure of success rather than wealth but now a days in today's practical world most probably wealth is required to become happy. so in a way they are interrelated but i would still consider happiness a better measure of success

Answer 8

No, it's not true and is incorrect to say that! However wealth is also a mesure of success, only if it is generated by self! The inherited wealth does not!
So, not all the wealthy people are successful and not all the successful people are wealthy!

Answer 9

Attempting to measure one's wealth vs. success ratio can only be done personally. Just because you're wealthy doesn't mean your successful, and just because you're successful doesn't mean you'll be wealthy.

The only real* measure of success is how you feel about yourself. What other people see about you shouldn't matter.

Answer 10

no, good personality is the only measure of success, but nowadays for some wealth is the only measure of success.
