Nowadays to be successful can mean a wide variety of accomplishments. They can result from either professional or study achievement or just the act of acquiring something they desire. Some believe that
success
 can have different meanings from one person to another. First of all, achievement is something we can achieve after some hard work. It can be a degree, after long years of studying, a pursuit of new skills or a new hobby. The most common form of accomplishment in adult age results from job achievement
such
 as a promotion or having the
career
 you aimed for.

 their
career
 and where they can learn different skills that can be valued by other companies or they may be offered a higher salary
