Success is not measured by wealth. It is measured purely by satisfaction and personal feelings of fulfillment. To be successful is to die feeling as if something was accomplished, to die feeling as if the wasted time was wasted well. This has nothing to do with money, unless someone gains conceptual value from leaves of green paper and units of copper, something which is highly unlikely.
Consider the lottery. Don't all those numbers tempt you? Imagine all you could do with that money! Then think...what earned you that cash? Not hard work, to be sure. Maybe a dollar or two you found on the ground once, or maybe a measly bet you made with your bestfriend in your younger days won you that.
Point is, there was no substance to it, and that basically sums up an entire life of wealth. After you get bored or overwhelmed, what is there? What's left after your friends became fake? What is there when you realize that nothing you do really matters anymore?
That isn't success. If anything that's failure..
Nice post. Everyone has each standard.
