"To be, or not to be; that is the question" (William Shakespeare) We have all come to know this quote, but each of us interprets it differently just like success. What is success? To one it may be being a millionaire to another it may be winning the state basketball championships. So how do we really define it? You can't. Everyone has their own way of thinking, of course we all have our own brain and are capable of such thing. (Note the sarcasm) To me, being successful is being happy and content with life. Yes having a nice car, a nice place to live, a steady job is all part of accomplishing the "American Dream; but what is that dream if you are not satisfied or happy? You will be successful but will have no purpose in celebrating it. Success comes to me when i have accomplished something i worked very hard on, something i put time and dedication into not something that was just handed to me. Its that satisfaction of knowing "I did this, i pushed and shoved but i got it done." When i have achieved my dreams. Success is being able to look back and regret nothing that you have done because when you look back you smile and say i tried and conquered and if i didn't i tried again until i succeeded. Success is what makes you content and your heart warm.
