A successful man is defined in terms of his character, and not just his monetary assets. Success comes from being kind, understanding, slow to speak, quick to listen, compassionate, determined, loving, and educated.
Honesty. Fidelity to parents and the family. Hard work. Belief in Self- "This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man." Charity and caring for the poor and weak. Belief that the well-being of this earth depends on your own personal actions.
A successful man is a happy man. A man who is responsible for his actions, he is sincere and he is a man who asks questions. Success DOESN'T equal money.
