At different stages of our life, we define success as different things. When we were little, success might have been finally getting rid of your pacifier. Now, it might be getting into college. But at the end of your life, when you look back on everything, what do you think will make you feel like you have succeeded or failed in life?

to me, success in life is measured by whether i’m happy or not. If i am content with my life and the way i have lived it, then i’ll consider myself successful.

For me success is at the end of your life being able to say I accomplished all my dreams. I don’t want to wake up one day realizing that I never did what I always wanted to do. I want to know that I can do whatever I set my mind to and if in the end I didn’t do that or find another way to measure for that then I don’t think I was successful.
I do not know for sure what I will consider successful at the end of my life. It always changes and there is no telling what you may think or believe in the future. In terms of what I think now, I think that I will have a family that will remember me and that I succeeded in being happy for a majority of my life. Being around the people I love and choosing them over any material thing would be considered a success.
I will feel like I am successful if I am happy in the end. If I have fully lived the way I wanted and had no regrets about anything, then I feel I have succeeded. If I pushed myself through all the hardships to get me where I wanted to be, then I believe that is success.
I define success as something that makes me happy and that I can use to grow. I’ve felt very successful lately by getting accepted to colleges, but sometimes school can be very difficult and time consuming so I am always afraid of failure. I think that even the things that we do wrong in life can be successful if we learn and grow from them. So when I look back at my life, I don’t think i’ll necessarily think, “oh i was definitely a failure.” that’s quite a strong term. Everyone makes mistakes – some more than others – but if we grow from them, then our failures end up fueling our successes in the long run.
I can’t truly say how I will view success at the end of my life because I don’t know who I will be and what I will have experienced. I can say, however, that if my life ended right now, I would feel like I had succeeded in at least trying to help others by making people laugh. I would feel like I had failed at making the world significantly better, however, because I haven’t done anything that impacts people significantly. I would really like to be someone who changes the world through my actions .

I think that when I look back on my entire life I will measure my success in different experiences and relationships. I will deem myself successful if I have a loving family and happy children.
i dont think success is all about how much money your making or what fancy cars you have but what or who makes you happy in life. Is that person with you, do you still see them? Do you do the things that make you happy and are able to do them? That to me is success and when im older i want to look back and feel that i have succeded in starting a family and business that helps others.
Sucess is true happiness in what we have achieved.
I will be able to say I succeeded in life if I can look back and be truly happy and proud of all the choices I made. For me, success isn’t all about getting what I want, but its more about getting what I need or God wants to give me. I realize there will be moments in my life that are going to be hard, but I hope that I will be able to look back and have no regrets because happiness is success.
Looking back on my life, I think success will be all of the memories made and my happiness. Having a family with the love of my life is certainly a success I hope to have. Kicking butt in my career and loving every minute of it is another. For a lot of elderly people, I think success is them being able to watch their children adn grandchildren put into action all of what they have taught them.
I think that I will judge my success by the amount of people remember me and miss me. I dont want to look back on my life and have any regrets and have made the best of my life.
At the end of my life I will judge my success by how happy of a person I am. In the end, it really doesnt matter how much money you die with, but how rich you feel internally. I will also judge my success by how many people I positively influenced or affected. I will feel successfull if people miss and love me at the end of my road.
I think that success is defined as when you set a goal and reach it. Success is achieving something that we work hard for. I think that success can be something simple or something huge and complex but they both are successful. I also think that if you are doing something that makes you happy that could be success. Success could be defined in many ways and i think that it is different for different people.
Since I’m a very work-oriented person, I think I might equate success in life with success in work. So I’d like to have a very solid career in order to consider myself successful. But I know that’s not all to life, so I suppose success could also be measured in the solidity of the relationships I have later in life.
i believe that i have successed in being true to myself
If I can look back on my life and not regret a single thing, I will consider my life successful. To me, I feel that success is to be truly happy and to truly love and be loved by others.
I agree with tan turtle. Success to me will be knowing I have lived a happy life. My philosophy is that we really don’t know what’s coming after we die, so we might as well enjoy the life we have here on Earth. I consider it a life wasted if we get too caught up in material things and wealth and forget what really makes us truly happy – family, friends, and having fun.
I feel like if I look back on life and I have graduated college, gotten a stable job and had a loving family I will feel successful.
I think if at the end of my life and I can look back and say I was truly happy and made a difference in someones life, I will consider myself succesful
I think having a family and good friends will make me feel like a lead a success life. it wont be about how much money i made, how big my house is, or how nice my cars are. It will be about the family and friends i will have surrounded myself with.
