Success is something everybody is after and each individual has his/her own definition of success. Does success give us happiness or is our happiness linked to success/ The more you think the more you realise that happiness is a state of mind..What does success mean to you ?

Success is different to different people as we can see..
Success is what everyone wants , but most of us really have no idea how to achieve it. In fact, do we even really know what “success” means?
“In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.”

Please correct yourself. I said failure is delayed success. I meant one should not be disappointed with failures. One should go on working without quitting. . No achiever grabbed success in the very first attempt. Such success, that comes after repeated failures makes you happy. This is what success is for me.
If I consider my life then I would say, professionally, I am an unsuccessful lady. I took up a career for a very short period, earned very little amount and later quit it for the sake of my family. Although, I must say I was not interested in teaching, I joined the same profession and earned immense love and respect from the students. Thus, financially as well as an independent working woman I did not succeed but students' belief in me made me trust myself of being a capable teacher. So, that was a successful part of myself.
In regard to emotional relations my life is successful but on financial ground I am a big failure as I don't contribute to family income. I must admit that I am happy as well as unhappy. Tasting success of any kind gives happiness but when unsuccessful stint haunts then it is bound to make one unhappy.
Personally I feel that every individual male or female should be financially independent. An educated lady would definitely feel that she is missing out on something if she is not earning. However, it is also important to see our priorities and then decide rather than do what everyone does or what others expect you to do. In my own case I had to give up working soon after being trained by SBI for 3 months, since I got married . Later, I could not work for nearly 8 years because of the children and at that time I felt that my priority was to look after the children. I also had to select a career that suited their needs, so I took up part time teaching , also later worked for a publishing house as a proof reader, was a trainer for sales personnel etc ..still work part time and am ok with it although feel bad when I meet my friends from college , some of who have had successful careers. I dont think there is anyone who is completely satisfied with their life, it is a compromise and it depends entirely depends on us as to how best we come to terms with our life !

I agree with you Sunil All are not that largehearted who applaud at others success. The intention of such narrow minded people is to derive pleasure out of others downfall. The World is a combination of Good and evil.

They are least bothered, there is a saying in Urdu/Punjabi and Hindi "Ham to dubenge sanam tum ko bhi le dubenge" it means what if I drown but I am happy that I accomplished my mission of sinking your boat"

I am sure there are many such people but they are neither happy nor successful because they breed negativity all round which is far from being successful ..

You are right! Most of the people, in some or the other way, are not entirely happy in their lives. It is always good to accept the reality but the point is how one can forget their dreams to success. It remains as a weakness.

If you can be realistic it is not difficult to convert your dreams of success into reality. If one aims to climb Himalayas and works towards it, even climbing the foothills is better than remaining stagnant !
