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

#success #wealth #belongings #measure #person
The quantity of
success
 is always measured by richness and other multitudes of material things. But in my opinion,
success
 is not just about making money,
furthermore
, it is more about living
life
 with a sense of fulfilment on a deeper level.
Therefore
, wealth and material possessions play a minor role in achieving
success
, with
this
 in mind, some human characters like purposefulness, perseverance and faith are the main factors in achieving
accomplishment
. Most
people
 do not understand the difference between
accomplishment
 and wealth, so their main goal in
life
 is to become richer.
However
, they realize that even if they do manage to get rich, it will never give them a real sense of
accomplishment
. If
this
 had been true, the only happy
people
 who would have been in society would be rich
people
. Despite
this
, we observe that every segment of society experiences happiness and successful feelings.
In addition
,
accomplishment
 is to compare
success
 to a point to be reached.
This
 is why most
people
 think of achievement as a goal, my opinion is that, so
success
 should not be an aim but it is an instrument to be happy. So, if you have money and yet you are unhappy, it is doubtful how long you will experience the feeling of achievement. If we look at the
life
 of successful
people
, they have the same characters which helped them in each situation of
life
.
For example
, purposefulness is the most essential character for the initial stage of planning because most failures stem from a lack of intentionality. The
second
 necessary factor is perseverance so everyone knows there is no achievement example without failure, despair and frustration in the event that patience is the ability to keep calm, despite all negatives. The
last
 but not least thing is faith because if you lose faith you will not be able to achieve
success
.
As a result
, income and material belongings have a limited part in attaining
success
; keeping
this
 in mind, human characteristics
such
 as intentionality, patience, and sustainability are the most important aspects in achieving
success
.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
