Reaching a
successful life is something that most people or possibly everyone dreams of.
However, in my opinion, there are a lot of successes in this life, we can say a
lot of people reaching that, but at the same page, we cannot say everyone
successful. Mostly, we merely can say that success is defined by either power,
money, or simply popularity. But still, what factors do actually make someone
having a successful life? When can we say someone successful? I wonder.
So my curiosity
got in my mind, I googled some definitions about success. Here they are :
Oxford’s definition
:
Merriam Webster’s
definition :
If you see it above, it’s completely almost the
same definition which I have thought before, and Business Insiders even agreed
that this definition wasnt enough yet. Thus, they mentioned several kind of
definitions there, and it varied from not simply having power and money to
success is one’s personal choice. Moreover, I read it on fairfaxcountyeda.org,
success has more definitions than ever based on Ms. Linda Seger pointed through
her intriguing thoughts there. Inc on the other hand, defined success by simply
listing executives from business world which I found kind of distinct from my
expectation.
Overall, after
skimming to all these articles and Mr.Google’s findings, I can barely say that
success is completely one’s life fulfillments resulting from one’s key life
realizations, and it can be anything from power, money, making change, and many
others. Nevertheless, I dont really like this summary which I have made to be honest cause I dont find any researches
talking about life success’ metrics, but hopefully later, I would definitely update this if I found one,
or I guess my curiosity is way too general for a research topic.
