Success. What does it really mean? The dictionary says it means "favorable or satisfactory outcome, Achievement, Prosperity, Victory".

Success is usually related to "Prosperity", material success, This is the "Victory" that results in two cars, a bulging bank account, an affluent life.

But aren't there other lives that could be considered successful? What about the humble minister-the dedicated nurse-devoting their lives to others? Surely they must be considered successful.

Success wears many coats. It means different things to different people.

It's really a matter of values, isn't it?

Here are hundreds of views and opinions on success. From thinking people of yesterday and today. What success means to them. How to achieve it. How to handle it.

I hope you find their thoughts stimulating and helpful.
