What makes you successful?
For those of you who consider yourself successful, what is it that makes you think that?
For those of you who don't consider yourself successful, what is it that you need to do before you feel that you are?

This one could get pretty deep for some people. If you have the time to type it all too.
I think that success is based on many things. I'm successful because I have intelligent, happy, good children. I'm able to work for myself instead of for "the man" and still live a good life. I am living the so-called "American Dream". I'm happy with my life and want for nothing. I have an incredible husband, family and friends. Overall, that's means I've lived a pretty damn successful life thus far.

I'm significantly smarter than the vast majority of people, which makes up for my overwhelming laziness and apathy with anything that isn't intrinsically motivating. Oh, and I have good ego strength and no real self-esteem issues.

Attention to details.
It's really worked well since the police have yet to question me about the number of homeless people that have "mysteriously" disappeared in my area

One day you will be old enough to see EXACTLY how funny that statement is.
To answer the question at hand, I can accomplish anything I try to accomplish, so that makes me successful. Now I just need to actually try to accomplish something
