Many generations have puzzled over the question 'what is life success?'. But we have not come to a common understanding of this issue.
After all, how many people there are, so many opinions. They're different. In my oppinion, it depends on education, on the level of knowledge, even on the own characteristics of a person.
For some people, success in life is primarily connected with material well-being. For others, it is quite different. Money problems are not so important for them. They are passionate about their work and find peace of mind in completely different values. This is also a kind of "life success". In my opinion, it is a combination of moral satisfaction, peace of mind and material well-being. Only when these benefits are combined can a person feel happy and then his head is free from everyday worries, he does not have to think about "daily bread". He has a desire to work, to implement interesting ideas.
And it concerns not only career, but also personal happiness. A person who has a favourite job and makes progress or has admirers of his talent, without a home can not be completely satisfied with life.
Only family well-being can make a person truly happy. Success in life is associated with warmth, positive energy received in a circle of one's family.
But success in life at the same time is like a roulette: one is lucky, the other is not. On the other hand, man himself is the Creator of his happiness. Everyone should have perseverance, patience, and what is most importantly — the desire to achieve something in life.
Maybe, from my point of view, many people will not agree, maybe for them life success is something completely different. But it is possible to answer then: "So many people, so many opinions".
