My father.  He is a preacher,and a special education teacher.  He cannot teach Christ at school, but he is retiring this year and somehow just by how he is all the notes from kids and teachers has commented how much they have learned about the love of Christ just by watching him as a person, a gentlemen, and how he deals with the events of every day.  That's success - letting Jesus shine through even when in an environment Jesus has been banned from.

Consider Mother Teresa, the Dali Lama, Winston Churchill, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Alexander Graham Bell  .... there are so many to choose from.  Pick someone that you think no one else will pick, which will make your report stand out from the others.

Broadly speaking, I would say that everyone knows what makes some people successful (talent, criativity, skills) and what keeps them successful (determination, hard work, innovation). However, there are some extremely successful individuals that lack moral strength and honesty. It is possible these people's true colors will show (someday, somehow). But it is also possible it won´t. In either case, there are two perspectives from which the above saying could be looked at: (1) from the outside, looking in; and (2) from the inside, looking in. In other words, acquaintances, agents or fans may focus basically on what they can get from those individuals' success (or skills). That´s why their character won´t be a factor. However, from the individuals' own point of view, it´s a totally different story. They know, deep inside, that their "success" doesn´t mean much. They know that "success without character is hollow".\n\nVery good question. It makes us wonder.

I would say that, yes, you are most likely smart. But even more importantly you were persistent & hard-working. Two very important skills in achieving success!

I am a success in the fact that I have survived as long as i have and created a value system for myself based on my beliefs and stick to it from a childhood that was rough.  I am working to attain the goals i have set for myself and doing a good job of it.  For me success has nothing to do with money or power but becoming the person I feel I should be.

The person I am thinking of is a complete gentleman that makes me feel comfortable around him (or his questions and answers), a lovely personality.  A complete and utter romantic that knows how to talk to the ladies, very well if I might add.  He has done an excellent job of raising/taking care of his family.  He brings a smile to my face.  And I miss his answers to my posers when he doesn’t always visit them.  He is witty, intelligent, warm and at ease with himself.  Oh, and he has a respectable past and is honored in his community.

Any individual who is successful over a period in time, is someone who has the ability to attract hearts. Be it politics, sports or anything in life. \n\nA R Rahman has grown to become an icon in not only Indian music but on international map too. This is proof his ability to attract hearts with his ability in music. Now, do you think I will not be one of them?

hum. A good and quaality question. I will suggest one thing. If u really want him/her, then share ur success with him/her. Let them become proud for ur success. Let him feel he is important factor and also equally important as success, rather success is because of your efforts and his moral support.\n\nI hope you got my point! Go ahead. You will not lose anybody! Best of luck!

i consider success to be a person's strength in standing up as many times as he or she falls down.

It completely depends on what you want to be "successful" at doing.  Success is achieved by simply reaching a goal, therefore, it fully depends on the goals you set for yourself.\n\nA janitor can be successful be being efficient and eventually named supervisor.  A lawyer can be successful by winning a case.  A musician can be successful by signing a recording contract.  A doctor can be successful by helping a patient become healthy.\n\nIf you mean FINANCIALLY successful-- if we knew, we probably wouldn't be answering questions right now.  And again, the amount of income you would regard as equalling "success" might be different than mine.

For such a general question, I will begin with a general answer, and rather good quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson:\n\n"  To Have Succeeded   "\n \nTo laugh often and love much;\nTo win the respect of intelligent people\nAnd the affection of children;\nTo earn the approbation of honest critics\nAnd endure the betrayal of false friends;\nTo appreciate beauty;\nTo find the best in others;\nTo give one’s self;\nTo leave the world a little better,\nWhether by a healthy child,\nA garden patch,\nOr a redeemed social condition;\nTo have played and laughed with enthusiasm\nAnd sung with exultation;\nTo know even one life has breathed easier\nBecause you have lived…\nThis is to have succeeded.\n \n                Ralph Waldo Emerson\n\nI think it is doing more and achieving more for yourself and others than is expected. Or having worthy goals and being able to achive them. Success is discovering your incredible potential.\n\nThe word “Success” by itself is too broad of a subject to pinpoint. Like the word “Truth,” it involves relationships with other things. Presumably, the question involves success in one’s life, but which aspect? If you nail down the relationship, then a specific answer is possible. If you are asking about monetary success, then it’s all about money, but if you’re talking about spiritual success, then it has nothing to do with money. \n\nDefine your question better, and you will get a better answer. This is because success concerns itself with the proper function of things, their purpose, and the correct interaction with, and use of things. We can discard the use of the word as a synonym for happiness, which is a Western reduction of an abstract concept to a sensual level. Even if you asked "What is the measuring stick of success?" you would still have to ask "In relation to what?" or "What purpose?"

Here are a few I thought fit the bill...\n\nGeorge Allen\n"People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to."\n\nCalvin Coolidge \n"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."\n\n Dale Carnegie \n"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no help at all." \n\nAristotle\n"I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self." \n\nThomas Jefferson\n"I'm a great believer in luck, and I find that the harder I work, the more I have of it." \n\nWilliam J.H. Boetcker\n"Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success."
