Success is...

“A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.” (Bob Dylan
What is success? According to The Free Dictionary it is the achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted.

I think success can mean different things to people.
When the average man hears the word 'success', usually he thinks of lots of money, a good job, a nice car, a big house and a loving family. That's everybody is trying to achieve in order to be happy. In order to be successful.
But I think there are other things as well. To me, success means many things. Of course, good marks, winning a competition or a debate are a kind of success. However, in my opinion we shouldn't appreciate only the 'biggest' accomplishments. There are also smaller, but not less valued achievements. Little things can also make our lives happier. Like making someone smile or even laugh. Or helping someone. Doesn't it feel good? I think making someone happy is one of the best things we can do. Sometimes it's better to give than to receive. 

The other thing I'd like to write about is doing what you want to do. I agree with the quote above. Everyone has his own hobbies, things he loves to do. It can be either reading, gardening, doing a sport, collecting something or travelling. In my opinion, we have to find time for these things. I know, today it's very hard to do that, we must work, go to school, we have commitments. But I think the most successful people are whose job is their hobby as well. I know they're rare, but I'd really like to be one of them. Wish me luck with that! At the end a good advice:
