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

Many hold the belief that money and assets are good indicators to define a successful person. I espouse that

success

cannot be solely determined by wealth and someone’s achievement depends on their individual accomplishments and contentment. In regards to

success

and accomplishments, majority of the

people

argue that money and assets someone possesses are good measuring tools.

In other words

, in

this

modern world,

people

have a tendency to appreciate individuals who are financially wealthy.

Although

there are many learned scholars who have accomplished many achievements academically, their achievements are not always popular among

people

but a wealthy person is well accepted by many. Nicholas Tesla,

for instance

, was not recognized by

people

of his time.

However

, Thomas Edison, an entrepreneur-scientist, was famous among them because of his financial background. Despite all these factors, I believe that

success

should not be materialistic .

Conversely

, opposing

this

argument, I hold the opinion that the estimation of

success

should be individualized. To explain

further

,

success

should be based on someone’s internal satisfaction and should not be judged by others. Someone can be not wealthy but he can be content with his own achievements.

This

is because there are many

people

around the world who have earned mind-blowing amounts of wealth but do not have internal satisfaction in their

life

Fix the agreement mistake

.

For example

, Abdul Kalam, a famous Indian scientist, held his head

always

Rephrase

high not because of his wealth but because of his inventions, and he is considered one of the greatest to ever live in the country.

To conclude

, though there is a popular opinion that financial status defines

success

I believe that measurement of

success

should be based on someone’s self-satisfaction and not solely on their financial

success

.
