Do
you consider yourself a success? Yes and no. I don't consider myself a success because I am
still living and there's more than enough time to mess things up. I do consider myself a
success because I have a rich, full life with a career that allows me to live my personal
faith without compromise, a husband whom I deeply love, and family and friends who give me
unconditional love and support.

Sure-as long as I'm doing what I want to be
doing, I've succeeded. :)
Angela, 16

The dictionary defines 'success' as 1. a
favorable outcome or result; 2. the gaining of wealth, fame, rank, etc. I'll choose the
former definition and answer "yes."
Reba, 51
Rockville, MD
USA
Yes, I do. I do work that is
meaningful. Have friends and family I can count on. Am independent and self-supporting.
Often find much beauty in the world. However, I still
have many years to go.
Felicia, 35
Lowell, MA
USA
I spent 4 years in college learning to write
and now dont write anything, work a dull job for 12.50 an hour and am bored with life. Im
not living with my parents, which is good, but a success? Heck no
Talia, 23
Wilton, CT
USA
It's hard to be a success at my age. But
considering that I dropped out of college (I'm slowly able to say "dropped out"
rather than "on a break") and won't be pursuing my chosen career for a while,
no, I'm not a success. I'm going to take steps in the right direction this summer with
night classes, I hope.

Compared to my brother, of course I'd
consider myself a complete failure: O it's own merit, that is kind of the conclusion I
would come to, anyhow: The only creatures who would consider me a success would be the
dogs/cats...they reek of awesomeness...I like the people, but hate my job...Nothing to
prove that my existence has mattered one iota...of course, the Stoic philosophy helps me
deal with all these crap...I mean, the Stoics reek of awesomeness.
Mick, 30
Chicago, IL
USA
So far, yes. I am graduating in May
as 4th in my class and this fall I'm starting University of Michigan. Tomorrow morning I
leave for spring break, which I've paid for myself. I
have had my ups & downs but I think I'm successful so far.
Katie2, 18
Detroit, MI
USA
I'm not really sure what I'm trying to do,
but I'm pretty sure I'm doing it. That'd be a 'yes.'
Alias Irrelevante
i consider myself a work in progress.
Jenn, 18
Milwaukee, MI
USA
Not yet...I'm only 18.
Kevin M.
I consider myself a success in the making.
Jennifer, 19
Wilkes-Barre, PA USA
I might-have-been, might-have-been,
might-have-been. On the other hand, I'm not dead yet
and I sleep well at night. Perhaps I'm the little enigma that might?
Jill, 60
Saylorsburg, PA USA
No I don't consider my self a success. I put
to many things off in my life to be there for otheres and my children and didn't realize a
time they would be gone and where am I at home with no real jobs behind me, some schoolong
but no real job experience.
Marci, 56
Diamond, OH
USA
In many, many ways - yes.
Fisch, 45
Preston, CT
USA
At what?
Karen, 21
Marshelltown/Ames, IA USA
At this point, yeah. I could be so much
better than what I do, in terms of grades, friends, work, talents, etc but then again I
think I'm a lot better off than some people. I'm happy with what I've accomplished.
Karen2, 15
Boston, MA
USA
Not yet. But I will eventually, hopefully.
Shanna, 15
Cardiff ENGLAND
So far I'm not doing too bad.
Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA
Yes.
Jane, 60
West Linn, OR
USA
Not yet. Not really.
Firelady, 23
Dallas, TX
USA
Yes. I am
relatively happy and content. I enjoy my family, my work and my life. Nothing much I would
change about if given the opportunity.
Janet, 42
E. Brunswick, NJ USA
sure. .
.for now. .
