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

Financial stability and material things are often measured to decide the success state of a human being.

This

essay disagrees that

money

cannot be considered in

this

comparison.

This

essay will

first

explain why financial stability is not enough to track a successful being, followed by a demonstration of the characteristics of a successful

person

. There are many points to prove why

money

cannot be considered to track a

person

’s success.

Firstly

,

money

cannot combat

stress

.

This

is because when a

person

suffers from a work

stress

, irrespective of being diagnosed by a psychologist may not make that

person

relieve from it, but as considered by many, love and affection from family members and friends can definitely cure it.

For example

, The Sunday Times has recently reported that 67% of top-tier salary employees make an effort to spend time with their family in order to minimise

stress

from their busy lives rather than visiting a doctor. Another reason to consider why

money

cannot be a successful measure is that it is not on the same level with

happiness

.

That is

to say, an average earning

person

may be happy if he is working in his passionate profession, but it cannot be the same with the

person

earning more and not being happy. UK is the prime example, almost 67% employees have reported that they would quit their highly paid job and pursue their passionate professions if the cost of living is affordable.

Therefore

, it is clear that

money

cannot be a measure to track an individual’s success rate.

Finally

, according to me, the definition of a successful

person

is based on individuals and their perspective towards life. If people were able to follow their dreams and maintain a healthy relationship with friends and family, they can be definitely considered successful in terms of

happiness

. Take,

for example

, my son was extremely passionate with video-games and when he landed a job in that industry, it made him much happier than the expensive gift which I presented him for his birthday.

Hence

, it is patently clear that following one’s dream is directly proportional to being successful as it is tracked in the terms of joy and

happiness

. In conclusion, it is clear that

money

cannot be measured as a successful possession as it cannot buy

stress

free relationships and

happiness

. Success should be tracked based on an individual’s goals that they set in their life and achieving them.
