What is success?

[Passerby2]

Creating a legacy

Having a family

Enjoying your life

Freedom to be who you are

"The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters."
Temujin Great Khan of Mongol Era

destruction?

[DrPepper12]

@strateguy632 it's a famous quote written in jest from the Secret History of the Mongols.

[TheRealPepperPotts]

That's hilarious.

[DrPepper12]

@TheRealPepperPotts I had that framed in my old classroom. But I also had Dante's "Abandon all hope ye who enter" too. God HS kids are fun!!

[TheRealPepperPotts]

LOL, classic!

All of the above, but with a caveat. I think true success is being satisfied with who you are in each of these contexts. If you create a legacy, it is out of sacrifice. If you create a family, it is out of love. If you enjoy your life, it is out of honest labor. If you have the freedom to be who you are, it is with gratitude and appreciation. Society tends to tout education, fame, or money as markers of success, but true success is maintaining integrity and knowing that at the end of the day, we were the person we wanted to be. And if we weren't, we can be truthful about it and try again tomorrow. Just my two cents...

Great answer @TheRealPepperPotts

It’s different things to different people — plus there’s a sliding scale of success that applies to different parts of a person’s life. A balanced, well-cultivated life is the best hallmark of success even though that may not equate to monetary gain, etc.

Success is becoming a cop and pulling your bully over ever 3 times a month and giving him a $300 ticket. Success is going to the local strip club after your shift and paying your highschool crush $50 to jerk you off knowing that same bully is her fiance ha ha ha haha.

All of the above but especially having a family

[IslaTheWitch]

definitely the freedom of being myself...

I don't need to bow before anyone. I'm financially secure, work doing what I love, and my family and friends are healthy and safe.

[Phoenix98]

Those could all be viewed as different types of success though creating a legacy and having a family are kind of one in the same because by creating a family you are creating a legacy.

[strateguy632]

getting married... to someone going the same direction

Sooooooo a hitchhiker? Kinky!!

[EmmaMary]

All of the above, especially having a family.

My definition of success is being able to please the superior female regularly.

[At3mis24]

I will just stay single to have a happy life; relationships leads to hell.

[midnightmoon05]

Me me me me me!! That’s me!!! And more…so I am a success! 🤣

If you have enjoyed your life you have been successful.

[Anonymous]

Living life to your own values and standards, and not allowing others to dictate what the values and standards should be

[padrepiedra777]

All of the above dude. None of these need to exist on their own, and often they should exist in tandem.

[OddBeMe]

Enjoyment. Period.

How do you enjoy? Controlling the most amount of your time as possible
