Definitions & Measures of success

Some examples ...

1. Money and status

2. Some measures are Grades at school, size of house, car, bank balance

3. Other measures are relationships - number of friends, peopel who love you

4. Health & beauty /  fitness level

5. Material possesions - toys, gadgets .....

Below is my favourite definition....

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived... this is to have succeeded."
