Success if often measured by wealth and material belongings. Do you think wealth is the best measure of success? What makes a successful person?
Almost everyone strives to become successful. Mostly,
People
tends to believe that if you are having a lot of material belongings and wealth
that it will lead automatically to success. However
, the question arises if this
is actually true.
Firstly
, I think that wealth
is not the best measure of success. This
is because some people
always try to do something for someone else. For example
, If I am very concerned about the climate and always donates my salary to charities, then
my measurable wealth
is not high. Nevertheless
, I can have to feel that I am successful because I can give money to other people
instead
of using it for myself. A better definition of success is from my point of view that you can contribute to the world
in a certain way.
Furthermore
, some people
do not want an enormous amount of material belongings. This
arises from their thoughts that happiness will come from immaterial belongings instead
of materials. For instance
, they rather go on a holiday than buy some jewels. By doing so, they are using their wealth
to see a bigger part of the world
.
In conclusion, I think that you can become successful by contributing to the world
. The more value you add, the more successful you will be. Next
to that, people
will always think that having a lot of materials will make them happy. That will also
be a grain of truth, but the more people
tend to think that way, the more individual the world
will become.Submitted by larsvdknaap on
