Success is also not permanent in life. A person may have a successful career but his personal life may be filled with problems and unhappiness. So, it is difficult to say that a person is totally happy and successful in life.

Life is not plain highway, it also have big and small pits.

Success is nothing but attainment of goal set for oneself. This may mean anything.  This has nothing to do with happiness, virtue etc. If a thief has completed his job and not nabbed by police, he has got success.

Of course people have different ideas as to what success means, for some it is goal attainment, for some it is having lots of money and wealth, could be that was their goal to begin with and so on.. but when one says successful life it is much deeper than that because many things need to be considered 

for me success always means happiness, whether it is from money or achieving great things in life..

Satisfied person is happy person and he is also success person. If some claim that his life is success it mean he/she is satisfied with family job, society

True, but again satisfaction, happiness and success are all temporary since change is the essence of life and the only permanent factor in life . 

yeah even your get success and if you are not satisfied then it cannot give you enough happiness because the happiness which one get when he/she is satisfied is something awesome..

So, ultimately success does not bring us happiness but satisfaction does. However, isnt satisfaction and happiness also success in a way ?

Satisfaction = happiness but we want to taste and feel true success then we should be satisfied.

A few quotes on success that are really thought provoking !!!

1, " Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it "

2, " Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm."
