How can we measure success in life?

[fionaheart]

I'm still in ny freshman year in college. I am late for a year. Well, simply because my parents could hardly afford to send us all to school (I'm the youngest of 9). So I had to work for a year in a food chain company as food server. I saved most of my meager salary for my enrollment for a college degree. And here I am now in school.

But, oftentimes when I am alone, I try to evaluate my self and the things I plan for. Will I really be successful after graduation? Will I reach the peak of life I dream of? Will I survive the vicissitudes of life that will cross my path of struggles?

How will I measure then success?

I measure it like this:
50% of how your family is doing and how you aretaking care of them.
25% How much money you have.
25% Who you are sorrounded by.
