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

The modern era is a materialistic era and
therefore
, a bank balance and luxurious life are supposed a successful lifestyle. But, the case is different as anyone can earn money and things easily in present times by doing unethical actions
such
as kidnapping, hacking and many more.
Thus
, success cannot be assessed with the amount of coins. A successful person is a statue of morality, a sound character and an inspiration to others for goal achievement. Wealth can be never a measurement of success. First and foremost, there are a plethora of ways to earn funds and a luxurious lifestyle these days
such
as human trafficking, drug smuggling, and hacking the data of other companies or personnel and for all these immoral activities, a huge amount of cash is paid to smugglers and criminals.
Consequently
, they have a lot of property but ethically there are very poor as they did nothing for the prosperity of the nation
instead
they are breaking down their country.
Hence
, richness can not be a measurement of accomplishment.
On the other hand
, a successful person can be low on cash but he has the treasure of knowledge, excellence, ethics and passion to achieve a set goal in his lifetime, which later turned into the growth of a successful human, who can help society and nation to develop in certain ways.
Moreover
, he acts as an inspiration for the coming generation and motivates people to do their best in life.
For example
, Ibrahim Lincoln was a poor child but because of his hard work, he became the president of the U.S. and still today he is a motivation for many of us. In conclusion, banknotes are often thought to be the measurement of prosperity but I feel that
although
rich people have deep pockets and amenities yet nobody knows where it comes from.
Therefore
, moral qualities and passion towards achieving a goal make a person successful and achievement can be only measured through these characteristics not with one's abundance.
