What is a standard definition of success?

Answer 1

Standards of success are relative throughout the world. In biblical times a man's success was judged by the size of his herd of cattle. In Oriental cultures engineers are more respected than physicians. If you look at success on a purely physical basis and in the United States, it would have to be measured in wealth. Sometimes a person may have all the trappings of success,nice home,club membership,cars etc. and be in great debt with no actual wealth at all. In the Stock Market crash of 1929 many people who "had it made" according to the standards of wealth, committed suicide when their success was threatened. To really get to the heart of success you have understand what the God of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob has to say about it. Since He made man, He is qualified to know more than anyone what success is. I will give two examples from the old and new covenants (The Bible). Solomon was the richest man in all the world. In his life he had it all and did it all. He was the billionaire of all time and tried to enjoy his wealth. He had vineyards (wine), hundreds of wives, (women) and his own orchestra (song).He built his own horse track and had the best horses in the land. With all of this he got terribly depressed ie.read Ecclesiastes, and was not happy. At the end of his life he said that there are two things that lead to happiness 1)Love God 2) obey His commandments. In the New covenant, Jesus ask the question, What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? Let us examine this statement.First,it is possible to be successful according to the world's standards and not know God. The weight of His question was in the eternal lose of soul. In the eternal the man was not successful but a failure. He had his reward for the 70 or so years of his life and spent eternity in hell. Could it have been avoided? Yes! God wishes you to have success in life physically on this earth and spiritually for eternity. His gift is eternal Life through the blood of his son Jesus. Their is no other way. Ask Jesus to reveal himself to you and He will. Success is only a prayer away! "What are the standards of success?" When your heart is at peace and content. When have positioned yourself to follow your dreams. When you are happy.

Answer 2

== == Here are some suggestions for how people can define their standard of success: * Success is different for each individual person. Too often we look at one another to measure how successful we are in our own lives. You may look at a certain person and think wow they really got it together. What you may not know is that person probably isn't in his/her mind satisfied their own selves (successfully) speaking. Ask yourself what your standard of success is, but remember you are your own worst critic so go easy. Life is a journey not a destination! * Use a metaphor to describe your personal success. For example, "I have four pillars of success. They are hard work, pursuance, determination and reliability." * Success is the fruit of: 1. Good directing as a leader, providing people with specific instructions and closely supervising task accomplishment; 2. Coaching by explaining decisions, solicits suggestions and support progress; 3. Supporting by facilitating and supporting subordinates efforts toward task accomplishment and shares responsibility for decision - making with them; 4. Delegating by turning over responsibility for decision - making and problem - solving to subordinates. * They want to know how much of a perfectionist you are. They want to know if you are a go-getter. They want to know if you will settle for less than they will. * A) Start by determining what success means for you: lots of money? reaching targets? execution of a project? change in people behaviour? so it depends on the sort of job you are in. B) It is also useful to look at what your own work values are. These should be in line with your own personal life values. The combination of A + B= may give you the answer. The interviewer will verify in how far these are in line with the organization's values. Again all depends on the type of activity. One golden tip: always remain yourself - do not pretend to adhere to values that are not yours. Goods luck! == == * Well success means what you are adding in your self every day, for me what I have decided in the morning and what I have achieved end of the day. * Is end of the day I find more polish myself, if the answer is yes than I am successful person in my life. == == * For me, success means what you are adding in your self everyday, if you are experiencing growth and change (better one) in the field that you are in and when you are able to use and contribute the education and knowledge that the university provided you as a student in giving quality service to people. And also considering what you have achieved at the end of the day. * The best way to handle this interview question is to provide a well-accepted definition of success and then support this with good examples of your personal success. One of the widely accepted definitions of success is goal attainment. Give examples of challenging goals you have set yourself and achieved.

Answer 3

My standard of success is measured not by the number of cars I have, the size of house I live in nor the amount of money in my bank but by the number of people that I helped and the people that smiled because of simple things I did. It is attaining the goals I set everyday and realizing that what has to be done everyday was achieved succsesfully before the day ends. It's the feeling of fulfillment before closing your eyes in the evening and the feeling of security that when you wake up each morning you have the inspiration of moving on and performing new task for others.

Answer 4

A successful job done is one that meets the requirements set forth by the company, and then some. Good work should exceed the expectations of the company you are working for.
