Success

Success. What defines it? Is it measurable based upon tangible accomplishments, or is it really based on one's level of self satisfaction and happiness? Who decides whether one is successful or not? Is it the person alone, or is it society as a whole. If it's society that decides who is or is not successful, then it is most likely based upon visible accomplishments for the good of the society. But, if it's the person or the person's close peers who decide the degree of success, then it is usually based on the person's level of confidence and self satisfaction. Success is such a subjective term that it isn't even funny.
As for me, I really don't feel too successful, which the theory above matches very well. To outsiders in society, they see good grades and good behavior and automatically often deem me successful. But to me, although I think I am successful academically, I really don't feel too successful personally. This could be due to a number of reasons- internal conflict due to my social life mainly though. So, overall, I have determined through personal experience and theory that success is unmeasurable; it is only with true self satisfaction and internal peace that one can be successful. There are only two degrees of success: successful, or not successful, and both are truly determined by one's self.
