Everyone has different definition and perception about being successful. An individual can be making only $50K per annum and is considered as successful by his family and friends because he has been able to feed the whole family; another individual may be making $100 mil a year and is still considered as a loser because his family and friends are even more successful then him. His success does not match others’ expectations.
Success is not definite. It is relevant to one’s own situation. Recognizing who we are, what we can do to make ourselves better individuals are way more important than using other people’s perceptions about success to measure our own achievements.
Be happy!
