Nowadays, it goes without saying that money
is the most powerful means of being successful. Having plenty of money means he
can buy whatever he desire for and he can go wherever he hope for. Money gives many
advantages up to attaining to their goals. However, not are only the rich successful.
The meaning of success is countless. According to value in person or region
where he lives or atmosphere of the time he belongs, it can be differently defined.
What the success is rely on the person who says this.
To begin with, the person who achieves their
dream is successful regardless of the amount of money. Although the job which he
has is trivial, if he is fully satisfied with what he is doing, he can say “I
do succeed” In the other hand, no matter how much he has money or how good well-paying
job he get, if he had given up what he wanted to be because of money and he just
live letting his life goes without purpose, he would say “I didn't succeed” Needless
to say, the person who is doing the work of what he has dreamed of is a successful
one.
On the top of that, the person who dedicates
his life to the valuable things such as helping the needy or involving in religion
is also successful. People are willing to give up the chance to make much money
for the values they have pursued though it asks them much of sacrificing. They
dare to sacrifice themselves for the values. Such people may regard themselves
the unsuccessful. It likely sounds irony, but the people who pour everything in
him out on the meaningful purpose are truly successful.
I have introduced only two different cases of
successful person but there are more cases of life of being successful having nothing to do with money. As an extreme example, if one poor person without job and family
and even house regards himself as the successful, he is successful. No one can
judge the others with saving balance or one standard which the majority has. The
statement of which only people who earn a lot of money are successful is a very narrow definition because it is just
one case of a lot of successful lives.

** Success，like beauty，is in the eye of the beholder for some，money
is a measure of success，but that is a very narrow
definition. I do not think all people who earn a lot of money are successful. Success，in my opinion，is measured by how we live our
lives，not by what we obtain.
Often，to be
successful means to realize a goal that one has set for himself or herself. If
that goal were to be a good student，a high grade point
average would be the measure of success. If the goal is to be able to run eight
miles in under an hour，success would be measured by
being able to perform that feat. As we are all individuals with individual
goals and aspirations，there are as many definitions of
success as there are people with goals. However，money
does maintain a very special place in our society. In the United Sates，under a capitalist economic system，we are
encouraged to set goals that obtain wealth. Thus，when
someone sees another person driving the streets of Beverly Hills behind the
wheel of a Rolls Royce，he or she might assume that the
person is successful. That would only be true，however，if that person had set as a goal to own a Rolls Royce. He may be a
failure in other areas of his life，and may even be
drowning in debt，but because he is able to display
wealth，many people think he is successful.
In conclusion，appearances
can sometimes be deceiving when it comes to money. It is important to remember
that success is always measured on an individual basis. If you feel that you
are successful because you have realized a goal，then
you are. If you feel like a failure，however，no amount of money will be able to make you feel like you are a
successful person. Certainly，money is only one of a
number of ways to determine success.
