Does wealth deem as success in life?

In my society, success in life is often equated with having a career which earns a large salary, driving a luxury car and living in very spacious village. Such status symbols are often taken as critierion in evaluating the success of a person because they are considered as very difficult to achieve.

In my opinion, I feel that there are certain more intangible aspects of life which is more important in determining of a person's life. One basice criteria which I feel that cannot be qualified is happiness and being healthy. Even if a person can have all the money in the world but he feels sad and dejected than he would feel that his life is empty and barren. On the other hand, an ordinary man may be contented with his life because he feels the joy in his life from having a happy family or having many good friends.

Every person has the potential to realize their own dreams. As to me, wealth is transient and it is useless compared to the more enduring elements of a person's life like DIGNITY, RESPECT, LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, AND HAPPINESS. These things we cannot use the money to buy it, it comes from the PURE HEART, the RIGHT ACTION, WELL-BEHAVED.
