what is the meaning of your success?

Did u ask yourself one day what is the definition of your own success? Everyone of us has its own success dimension. Some other may think "Ah basta magkaroon lang ako ng bahay at lupa at magandang kotse, yong na yong success ko!" Some will rather say, "Basta mapag-aral ko lng yong anak ko, ok na yon!". Here's one good definition of success, It is when you find yourself in need of serving another person's need. It is sometimes acceptance of the past. That past is no longer the place we are looking for, it is simply the place where we learned it from.

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give of one's self;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived
- This is to have succeeded.
