How do you measure Success for you?

Question

and whats ur rising, sun, moon, and mars sign?

For me, if I put 100 % effort and try everything that I could in my power will be good enough. No matter what the outcome is. It's all about self-satifications for me.

For example, If I get a B on an exam and didn't think I study hard enough then I would be hard on myself even more than let say if I got a C grade and I tried everything in my power to study...haha..of course that wouldn't happen...so what I'm trying to say is that I don't always have the get the results that I want...as long as I'm sastify with my effort and work.

Answer 1

Throughout the years, my measure of success bounced from the materialistic, to the social and to the just plain childish. I'm not gonna give examples of what they were to avoid offending anyone. All I can say is none of them lasts forever.

Right now, my measure of success is my resume. It's something permanent. I aim for scholarships and awards and do volunteer work because those are gold in your resume. They make it stand out. I also applied for outstanding jobs with letters of recommendations from teachers who know I'm capable. I'm also joining clubs when I get to University.

I'm Pisces Sun, but I think that was my Virgo Moon talking.

AND I'M DOING IT ALL IN THE NAME OF LOVE!!!

Okay, there's the Pisces in me. O_O

Taurus Rising. Pisces Sun. Virgo Moon. Aries Mars.

Answer 3

i read this poem when i was 12 and i have always remembered it and held it to be true in my heart

To laugh often and much;

to win the respect of intelligent people

    and the affection of children;

to earn the appreciation of honest critics

    and endure the betrayal of false friends;

to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;

to leave the world a bit better,

    whether by a healthy child,

    a garden patch

    or a redeemed social condition;

to know even one life has breathed easier

    because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded.

Answer 4

sadly, i am very picky.

if i don't get the EXACT outcome that i planned on having, in my mind that is self-failure. i may be a little too hard on myself, but i'm always striving for perfection.(oddly enough..im not a virgo).

i have to get the exact outcome, at the exact time i planned it. if i don't get it, then i  get all moody and depressed, and i lock myself in my room and write stupid poems about how no one understands.

lol!

Answer 5

Yes, I agree with you, Arch. It's the effort you put into something, the time and energy spent, and the lessons learned. I define success as a feeling of achievement, when I truly feel whole as a person, and have overcome my personal flaws. When I have not wasted my life away, but have gained something from my experiences, and ultimately evolved. Of course, it's great to be a winner, to come out on top, and be rewarded for your efforts, but sometimes the journey there is much more rewarding than the actual success itself. If I set a goal for myself, no matter how small, the fact that I was willing to reach for it, the fact that I put my mind to it, and tried my hardest, makes me feel good about myself.
