Who is the successful person in life according to you?

Real success, must be a measure of something more substantial than secular careers and the cost of one’s house, car, or watch. Success reflects what a person is as a whole, including the principles he lives by and the purpose he has in life. A person may be smart and powerful, for example, but be morally bankrupt and devoid of love and true friends. Another might have fame and fortune but look back on his life and ask, ‘What was it all for? What is the meaning of my life?’
It stands to reason, then, that truly successful people would have some depth to their lives, including sound principles to guide them. They would have inner peace, self-respect, and the respect of others. They would also have a purpose in life that transcends self and gives meaning and satisfaction.
Success means doing your best—not outdoing someone else’s.—Galatians 6:4.
