The Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English says that success is when you achieve what you want or intend. But what does success mean to people? Are people successful because they have happy lives and succesful in their own way? Success means different things to different people. Some people think that this is when they carry all before themselves. Someone says that success isn`t important in their lives. But it is. Maybe success is to have a lot of money! Perhaps. For some people it is measured in financial terms, by the amount of money they posses. In many professions it plays a very important role in such competitive spheres as sport, show business etc. Success at school is impotant to all students and for me too. There is one thing that worries me. While we are all madly trying to compete with some successful people, for example actors, singers, businessmen and others,the rest part of our life is passing by. People can`t work all days and nights long just earning money because we aren`t machines, we`re living beings. I think that it is when I pull myself up by my bootstraps when I make headway. I don`t want to make a name for myself. I think that success is when you love, because love is natural only for humans. Some people say that the sky is the limit, but the only opinion I have is that the biggest success is to be human!
