What is the meaning of success?

What is the meaning of success?  Is it just about money?  Is the very rich, bitter, miser, who thinks only of himself and of money, generally considered a success?  Can we be a success without a lot of money?  Can we be a success without love?  Can we be a success without being kind, giving, caring, thoughtful, and considerate?  Can we be a success without intelligence, without wisdom?  Can we be successful without being happy?  Can we be a success without God?  I would love to discuss this topic.  I think for many of us the meaning of success is not clear, and often a mistaken notion.  I wonder how many of us think about success, or about the importance of being successful, or about what we consider to be successful, or whether we are a success?  I wonder how many of us truly feel that we are a success?
