Success is...

I am not too much of a person who is keen on personality test as I often find the answers generic and doesn't tell really anything. It is like when the answers turn out to be something nice, you would say "oh..I cannot agree more".. when it turns out to be something bad, you quickly veto and say "this personality test sucks!!"

Since I received so many requests for the personality test at facebook, I decided to spare 5 min of my time to give it a try. This is a test to identify a picture to describe something, 8 choices were given per item.. I didn't find the test particularly interesting until I was given 8 pictures to describe what is success?

I pondered on this question..the obvious choice would be money/wealth or family or being with someone you love....but I was reluctant to choose the obvious choices. I wouldn't define money as a success because it isn't the first priority in my life. Family wouldn't equate to success because it is not something you compete for.. it is something that comes by naturally. I wouldn't say holding hands with your lover walking in the beach as a success either because it takes two to tango.

I then reckoned that an A+ is the meaing of success...probably it's just me... getting an A+ means more to me than monetary rewards, because it means recognition.
