Question

【题目】What is real success? I am sure many would come up with answers like lots of money, a big house, a new car, and so on.

It has been interesting to see how my own idea of success has through the years. When I was young, I was eagerly reaching for material success. I chose my jobs accordingly and ended up in . Sure enough, I did earn some pretty good pay checks.

The feeling of relief and belonging was great–and suddenly I felt successful again. Even though I earned than before, I was much more content.

Then I returned to my old love–writing.

I realized I felt most successful when I loved what I did never the money. Then for my own I define success by the feeling of contentment.
