How is success determined ?

How is success determined ?

Is it the way you live ? Is it the way you eat ? Is it the way you are respected ?

How is success determined by others on you may be something said above. I have seen few who I term as successful people live the way they always did. Humble and down-to-earth. Similarly, I have seen their food habits, which haven't changed a lot. Definitely they command respect in every aspect of their life, but that's just what they didn't want - the unwanted attention, I mean.

So what makes a successful man or woman. How do you term yourself having succeeded in life. For this I found a more profound answer. A year ago my grand father succumbed to his age. Everyone around him at the moment of his passage, were very much astonished and content at the way he did it. Just a second, on his bed after the doctors had mentioned that he had no hope of survival, his breathing stopped. Everybody appreciated the way he had lived and had passed. He had lived a complete life.

Now that thought helped to find a true success in life. Its not about earning money, fame, respect. Living in luxury, eating and merry-making. Its about living a complete life, for yourself and the ones around you.

Now, that's a thought for all of you to ponder over.
