!!! Success !!!

[earthlyken]

How can you measure success of a person?

Can it be that a person has a car? house? money? etc...

BUT, can it be success if all those things came from their parents? and not self earned?

I think, true success is you start from nothing and now you have everything..

Why do we need to measure the success of a person?

Is it necessary for one person to measure the success of others?

I think it will not be healthy for a person to measure or should I say compare his accomplishment with others. Maiinggit lang tayo kung lagi natin compare ang sarili natin sa iba.

If a person is happy, then that's all that matters. To be honest, I don't look at what other people have. If I need something, then I work toward that goal.

I worked hard to acquire the house we're living in now. But, it's mainly for our kids. Once our last kid moves out, we're selling the house and moving to a one-bedroom apartment....or perhaps buy an RV and live a nomadic life.

somebody said that, success is measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles that he has overcome while trying to succeed. i agree.

How many of us here can really say we started from nothing.....unless we were orphans? Most of us have parents who worked hard to provide for us, shelter us, feed us, guide us.

money and material things are a terrible measure of success. ung nag cocommute gusto ng simpleng kotse, ung may kotse gusto ng sports car, ung naka sports car gusto ng exotic supercar and so on. Its all relative nga.
Happiness and contentment mas madaling measure, i suppose.

That's a good book. Read that few years ago. I want to read it again.

IMO, success is when you have a happy family life and healthy loved ones.

Para sa akin. Masusukat mo ang success ng isang tao pag nakita mo yung mga anak niya ay successful na.. like mayroong sariling company or matibay na trabaho. Then yung mga apo upgrade na ang lifestyle kaysa sa mga magulang niya dati nung bata pa...

Success is when after a long drive, you did not hear a word from your wife.

success is variable, depends on the individual.

examples:

a person i know. senior executive vice president of a huge insurance company. no special courses, no MBA.... just a bachelors degree in psychology from ateneo... takes home six figures very payday.

vs.

a person i also know. MBA, certificates in child psychology, certification as a financial consultant, certification as a registered financial planner, UP graduate. but cannot hold on to a job... depends on the husband who is a seaman for sustenance.

who would be more successful here? varies.... some say its the first, some say its the second. i am not to decide or to determine.

second example:

a simple employee, 3 kids... small house, no car. no debt.. the 3 kids are now graduated in college.

vs.

a rich guy, huge house, 3 cars.... around 4M in liabilities. owns his business, but business is not doing good. kids are still in high school.

again, who would be more successful here? varies... some say its the first, some say its the second. i am not to decide or to determine.


third example:

an 82 year old guy, very healthy and mind is very sharp. already retired. just relaxing at home. home is simple. all kids have their own families who visits him every two weeks. has around 5 grand kids who are growing good, disciplined.

vs.

a 45 year old guy, with hypertension, have aching knees and back.... still working.... home is simple.... kids are still small.... with reasonably small sized house, one car.

again, who would be more successful here? varies.... some say its the first, some say its the second. i am not to decide or to determine.

fourth example:

mother teresa or henry sy?
pinoy or dick gordon?
binay or duterte?

i am still not to determine, i am not to decide.

fifth example:

myself.... stable job, takes home 5 figures every payday, happy family, loving wife who is also my best friend, good kid, two cars, small house.

a friend.... again, another seaman.... takes home 6 figures every payday, marriage on the rocks, kids ignore him. one kid has some issues psychologically, two cars, bigger house but rented.

i cannot determine, i cannot decide.


get the point?

get the point?

Success can not be determined by comparing one from the other that is why we can not tell which is which.

To others I'm not successful but I see it the other way around. I see others that they are successful but they see to them selves otherwise.

So it is how people set standards on how to gauge success.

Ang maganda kanya kanyang standard nalang pero dapat applicable lang sa sarili natin un standards natin at wag apply sa iba kasi di lang magkakaintindihan.

para sa akin success is when you know yourself, you have an identity, set a goal, then reach it.

sample: MJ, played well at basketball, knows he'll be a legend, became one.

Kobe, wanted to be better than MJ, wore jersey 24, broke some of MJ's records, on his way to become a legend.

[box_type]

you cannot measure success in a person as a whole package, simply because a person has so many undertakings in achieving a goal (i'm only talking about a single goal and we all know that all of us doesn't have only one goal in life, we all have a multitude of goals).

Now back to that single goal i'm talking about, along the way you will encounter struggles and each time you defeat or conquer one struggle, that's one success for you and then you go on to the next obstacle-success cycle until your reach one of the goals you set upon yourself and the cycle goes on and on and on....

success is if you are happy and satisfied with what you have.

[Jun aka Pekto]

If I was living in the PH..... I'd be happy if:

1. I lived in a tiny apartment - management handles all maintenance
2. I didn't have to work, but have a sufficient paycheck coming in every month
3. I spent my day exercising, lounging at the beach or poolside, indulging my hobbies, getting laid regularly
4. No need for a car because of ample air-conditioned public transportation
5. I'd be in shorts and tank tops all the time without worry or a care in the world.
6. I can travel or leave the country anytime I want.

I would consider the above my definition of success. I'm not interested in status, power, or reputation. I probably couldn't get myself to employ hired help. I'd feel guilty. One thing I learned in life is it's important to get along with people from all walks of life. Having a master-servant situation just widens the gap.
