A satisfied man is a happy man, anyone who is Happy is a successful man, therefore i see success as satisfaction and Happiness, a man can be wealthy but not happy at all in his life and such man is only wealthy but not successful.
It does not really matter if you have to be wealthy Inorder to be knwon as a successful man but I see success as when you are happy all the times, you are a successful man, when you are happy that means you have accepted your stand and your place in the world, you do not bark for more that would make you to put your whole heart and be thinking of those things which are not necessary to you but you lived happily and you accepted your stand as your stand in life.
Happiness makes a man's heart steady and prosperous, he makes one not to think of things which would have to reduced his life span, rather happiness is a kind of joy which seems everlasting also when referring to success, is a kind of everlasting feelings which would make you to feels secure and joyful all the moment, two years ago, someone gave me a coupon code to play in a betting shop, and I did play the games as he instructed and it came out good, I win a thousand naira but was i happy? No, I was not happy in any way, rather, I felt and think more that, this are not the kinds of games I should have involved my self with, and if I really want to play a gamble I should have it connect with my smartphone or my laptop and be playing it at the comfort of my home and not a coupon games that seems odd, which I have to go to the shop and get my ticket, maybe it was because I was not too friendly with handling a computer system or maybe, because I didn't have a smartphone by then, even when I make a win I was not happy, I keep spending the money till it finished and I was unable to even invested the money, all because such things are the things I do not consider I should be doing, but It like an old thought now because now , I do play games on my smartphone and laptop.
Even while winning the game as at that time I was not still Happy but the game was a success and I make a great win, if they wanted to count successful people that win the game I will be mentioned among those that have a win but was I Happy at all?, I may have been successful in the mindset of people but when it comes to my own mindset i see myself as not being successful because happiness it all that matter, no matter what we have or may have claim to have, a life without happiness is a wasted life and nothing success is added to such life, unless you have happiness is when you are a success.
