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

It is often believed by many that the wealthy and the other materialistic things that a person owns in his life are the best ways of measuring his success.

However

, I believe that the financial stability is not the key criteria to measure an individual’s achievement. A perfect blend of a supportive family, a promising career and a sound health is what makes a successful human. Every person has his own ways of feeling contented. Though, rich and affluent people are thought of to be the most successful persons;

however

, they may not have the same feeling about themselves.

For example

, a wealthy businessman, earning revenue of $2000 million, is perceived as a successful entrepreneur by many, whereas he still has not achieved his predetermined goals and

thus

, is not satisfied by his achievement.

Moreover

, different people set their own goals, no matter how big or small, according to their needs and desires; and meeting those targets with their sheer hard work and dedication is an accomplishment for them.

Thus

, a feeling of contentment is the true measure of victory. The success of any human being is attributed by a number of other factors, apart from wealth.

Firstly

, a loving and a supporting family always motivate an individual to focus on his goals and give him a feeling of being complete.

Furthermore

, having a dream job is another way of getting satisfaction in life.

Finally

, these factors compounded with a sound health form an ideal combination of attaining accomplishment, as people who are having a healthy work-life balance, are happier than the rich individuals, who surely have money to buy anything in the worlds, but lack peace of mind. In conclusion, success has a different meaning for different individuals. While some relate being rich to being successful; I think a sense of accomplishment through contentment is the real measure of achievement.
