Zanter 3rd Gear September 25, 2010 Share September 25, 2010 How would do define success for yourself and how does that differ or similiar to what the average Singaporean thinks of as success. Most of us will admit having money is important as a criteria for a defined successfully peson, but what is it that you would wish to do with that money. Buy cars or property so that others will defined you as successful or get your children to the Harvard or Oxford or buying all the blink gold chains to show you have the $? Or even having people love you can be a define successful person? How would you define success? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesey74 6th Gear September 25, 2010 Share September 25, 2010 Success to me is when u r happy with yourself and everyone revolving ard u.. Simply put, when 1 is happy on a daily basis.. Trust me, no amount of money or material fulfillment can bring u happiness in the long term.. It's only when u learn to be happy then imo, u r successful in life and live a life worthwhile..

Mrlau Clutched September 25, 2010 Share September 25, 2010 How would you define success? Successful people can afford to buy a car. The more successful you are, the bigger or faster your car.

Blackyv Turbocharged September 25, 2010 Share September 25, 2010 Errrr.... Imo, There is no one standard "success" reference. Each person has its own benchmark of their own perceived reference. Some use $$$ as refernce, and some use happiness, some go with car size , etc.... So, no point comparing, if one feel they have succeeded, good, if feel like not there yet, put in moire effort to make it happen lor... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini-itx Clutched September 25, 2010 Share September 25, 2010 No right definition. Is subjective and up to personal preference. I guess worldly success means you have lots of money and status. I guess spiritual success (as a chritian POV) means you are at peace with god and able to cast out your worldly desires and follow the bible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
