What is the picture of success? Big house? Imported cars... Not just one but several that line up in the garage? Fat bank accounts...saving accounts, current accounts, trust funds? Member of a golf club or any club that cost thousands as membership? A career that have a paycheck as big as a mountain?
I guess these would be them. Living a materialistic world, there is nothing wrong in wanting more to enhance your lifestyle. It is the standard that are set. It is normal to strive for a lifestyle that are more then comfortable. Because if you don't have ambition, then you might as well stop living.
But I think success comes with more then what you have. Your way of living should also reflect the stuff that you have. Lavish lifestyle should come with refined attitude. Having big house should come with the ability of being a considerate neighbour and a gracious host. Driving big expensive cars should come with the ability of knowing trash belong in a trash bin and not on highway nor the street. Having money and career also mean being charitable, donating to those less fortunate or to give opportunity for others to be successful too.
The measure of success should not stop by looking at what you have but also looking at how you are. The "being" should weight more then the "have".
