Wealth Is Not the Only Way to Success When most people see a rich person, they immediately conclude that the person is successful. Frankly speaking, don’t we all sometimes wish that we could be wealthy? I think there’s a natural tendency to equate money with a certain amount of happiness, and happiness with a certain amount of success. However, I also think that happiness can be obtained in many other ways. Thus, I have to say that I don’t think only people who earn a lot of money are successful. Take for example, the ordinary people who sacrificed their lives to make their countries better. Martin Luther King didn’t earn a lot of money, but no one would doubt that he was the most successful person in the history of civil rights. Mother Teresa lived a simple life dedicated to helping the children in India, yet she was remembered as one of the most successful humanitarians of our time. I know many colleagues who gave up their high-paid jobs to travel the world, to raise a family or to simply pursue a more interesting job. They are much happier now and would probably tell you that their greatest achievement in life was finally accepting the fact that money can’t buy happiness. I think a person is successful if they have accomplished any goal that makes them happy. There are many examples of rich people who weren’t successful at reaching their goals. Consider Billionaire Ross A. Perot, one of the richest men in America. Twice, he sought and failed to win election to the office of U.S. president, a much lower paid job. Michael Jordan once retired from his lucrative position as a basketball player to pursue a lower paid position as a professional baseball player. After several years, he quit baseball without successfully reaching his goal. Why would people who are already rich seek to accomplish goals unrelated to making more money? They must believe that success means more than just earning more money. In my opinion, earning a lot of money is just one of many ways of being successful and it might not be the best. As many people recognize, having a lot of money doesn’t necessarily equate with success, because money is not everything and can’t buy you happiness, just as the name of a song of the Beatles indicates, "Money can’t buy me love." Whether your goal is wealth, personal fulfillment, or raising a family, if you accomplish it, I think you should consider yourself successful.
