The true success is the person who invented himself.

"The true success is the person who invented himself." by John Wooden.

How do you achieve success? Who sets the standards for your achievement and how are they measured? What does it really mean to be successful in life?

Some would say that success is measured by material possessions or social status. Under this theory, a person cannot truly be successful until they have accomplished certain goals or reached a certain level of income and respect. But this is only one definition of success, because there are many people who find great happiness and satisfaction with less than these things: 

-a healthy family life. 

-financial stability. 

-a sense of accomplishment in their work. 

-a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment in their personal relationships. 

-a sense of satisfaction with their physical appearance. 

-a sense of pride and accomplishment in their own self esteem. 

-a feeling of being important, special, and loved. 

-feeling useful to others. 

-the ability to make a difference in the lives of others. 

-A sense of accomplishment and achievement in their own personal character traits.

They have achieved success by setting their own personal standards for what is important and valuable in life, and not allowing the majority standards to dictate the course of their lives.

Although many think that these luxuries should be included in any definition of success, this is wrong. It is wrong because it takes away the choice to define your own lifestyle, your own values and what it means to be successful to you. If you follow the majority standards, then you are not defining yourself as a person; instead you are letting someone else do it for you.

They are not living life on purpose; instead, they are living the majority's definition of what life should be like, and for them this is not success. For those who reach great heights of success, it does not mean that they have done anything extraordinary or special. People who truly achieve great success understand that their success is simply a direct result of their own personal choices, beliefs, or standards-they were the ones who decided to create themselves. 

They did not follow the masses and tried to please everyone else; they stayed true to themselves and did what they thought was right. They chose their lifestyle, way of thinking and goals for themselves-not somebody else. This is why they are successful. People who do not even value their own success often do not value the success of others. They will only want to appreciate their own accomplishments, areas in which they feel successful and will attribute every other aspect of a person's life to something else or blame for their problems instead of taking ownership for it.

These types of people can be just as successful as those who have made wise decisions and set aside what society deems as important in life, but the difference is that true success comes from within you, from your choices and actions, not from the external environment around you. You cannot achieve success if you let your life be ruled by the opinions of others, or if you allow your own life to be controlled by the success of others. You have to decide what is important in your own life and go for it. Don't hold yourself back because of the standards set by society. 

Some people have a different definition of success, though, one that is the most important and cherished thing in their entire lives: their family and relationships with other people. And although this may not be reflected in materialistic terms or social status, they are still successful because they are making a difference and being loved by those closest to them while they are here on earth.
