Nowadays, everyone's thinking is confused by the question, "What is success?" Is success defined by money, fame, position, a successful profession, or happiness? However, in real life, we might witness rich individuals looking for something they lack, such as diabetes patients, who want sweets but an illness that prevents them from eating sweets, obesity, which they wish to cure, and depression, which causes them to find peace in their lives. Money is, without a doubt, vital for living a nice life, yet we cannot conclude that affluent people are successful. Some people believe that fame is everything, but we can see many celebrities live depressing lives and some unfortunate incidents occurred when they ended their lives themselves, they can't give time to their family properly due to the burden of work and feel depressed, they get fed up sometimes because they can't live a free life like ordinary people where they can go, eat, laugh, and so on. Some people believe that success is defined by one's career or status, but as we see in our lives, many people get big jobs but are unhappy with them and resign or quit. Human nature is very complex; if he struggles for something and when that thing comes into his/her life, they are fed up with it.

As a result, today we will try to find an answer to the question, What is success?

According to the English Colin dictionary

1. "Success is the achievement of what you have been trying to do."

2. "Success means attaining a high position in a specific sector."

3. Success is defined as "someone who has a high position and earns a lot of money."

Unfortunately, we now take the last two definitions seriously and ignore the first, which is the achievement of anything, whether it's peace, respect, pleasure, satisfaction, or peacefulness, rather than status, money, or recognition.

Real-life example:

In life, we can see that some people get a job or start a business at the age of 22 and others at the age of 55, that some people get married at the age of teen and others at the age of 40, that some people get their home at the age of 50 and others at their first birthday, so we cannot say that the younger are successful and the older are not. Success is another thing that we cannot assess from other people's lives since everyone has their own idea of success; we cannot be defined by other people's lives, such as whether the glass is half full or half empty. Success is not something that can be understood in a moment; it takes time to experience things and come to terms with reality.

Success is possession:

Success may be obtained via consistency and hard effort, even if it does not work according to your expectations, but if you do your best, you will feel satisfied on the inside, and that is the actual definition of success.

Without a doubt, our world is materialistic, yet when someone has anything, he or she becomes bored with it after a while and begins to consider the accomplishments of other things. As a result, success cannot be a materialistic concept.

Success is fame:

When you accomplish work with great zeal and zest, you will be successful; nevertheless, if you are not enthusiastic about that specific profession, you will be stressed and feel empty. Therefore, fame is short since this cruel world quickly forgets about old ones and follows after new ones, or when they believe someone is not worth more, they abandon them and attempt to find someone who is worth more, this world is disloyal. Some celebrities become unsatisfied with their lives as a result of their popularity. They want to be free but instead feel like a bird in a cage.

Success is wealth:

Wealth does not imply a large sum of money, but rather the relationships, friendships, values, and family that make you a happy person. But what if someone has a lot of money and yet feels that he's a failure in life? Money, without a doubt, is required for survival, yet it cannot buy all that a person desires. People cannot purchase respect, health, peace, or happiness, thus we may conclude that money is only a necessary aspect of life rather than a cause of success. We can witness numerous examples throughout the world of wealthy individuals living miserable and unbalanced lives while having a lot of money to buy everything they want, but money is not a solution to everything.

Success is a big house, luxury car, or career:

Success is when you feel you can do it, and when you believe you can do it, you are on the right track, but sadly, most individuals do not believe in themselves. At some point, people believe that if they have the best job, they would be able to purchase a huge house, a fancy car, and live a happy prosperous life, but as time passes, they realize that they are not living a successful life. Happiness has nothing to do with success. We can observe many impoverished people having joyful lives, but how successful they are, we don't know. These assets may become a necessity rather than a source of success.

Success is a broad concept that cannot be measured using these criteria.

The genuine definition of success extends much beyond the common definitions of success, such as having a lot of money, being affluent, having a lot of material goods, and having acquired degrees.

However, the definition of success is living a happy life and making the world a better place for everyone. Rethink what success means to you. Don't chase after goods; instead, develop joy. Create a magnificent life from the inside out, and you will feel like the successful person on the planet.
