Success if often measured by wealth and material belongings. Do you think wealth is the best measure of success? What makes a person successful?

#success #wealth #belongings #measure #person
A
person
 is considered successful if he has a good bank balance and owns expensive items of daily use. In my opinion, wealth and costly items do not determine the
success
 of a
person
. Other factors play a pivotal role in making an individual successful. To start with,
money
 is not the best marker of
success
. A rich
person
 may be having a decent bank balance, but if he is socially isolated, that may render him psychologically deprived.
For instance
, a famous personality, who owns one of the biggest marketplaces online, recently split up with his wife.
Although
, he still owns a good amount of
money
 and multiple valuables, he did not lead a successful married life. There are numerous other factors, which play a key role in determining whether a
person
 is successful or not. One of the most significant
factor
Suggestion
factors
 is inter family relationships. A
person
 having strong relationships with his family members, even having
meagre amount
Suggestion
the meagre amount
 of
money
, feels much more satisfied. To illustrate, a survey conducted by an NGO called Society For Skill Training And Development (SSTD), concluded in their results that
the poor
Suggestion
the poorest
 class in Pakistan leads
more joyful life
Suggestion
a more joyful life
 than the elite class families. When asked
from
Suggestion
for
 the poor
person
, they attributed their happiness and
success
to
Suggestion
with
 their families. To sum up, it is quite evident that
money
 cannot be the best measure of
success
.
Other
Suggestion
Another
 important factor is family, and relationship with family members, because it is only the family
that is
 there for a
person
 to celebrate
success
.
