The meaning of success is different to everyone. Some may think that having a high-income job is successful. Some may think having a harmonious family, a nice spouse, one or two (or maybe a dozen) children is successful. Or maybe, having a high education is successful too. To me, a successful woman in today’s society means having a stable job or a family. But the most important thing is that she thinks for herself.
I have heard a story about what people think about “successful” in a race. The first one thinks that he can join the race and that is successful to him. The second one thinks that he is successful when he can finish the race. The third one thinks that he is successful if he receives a prize. The last one thinks that he is successful when he can be the champion. This shows that everyone has their point of view toward the word “success.”
However, in today’s society, many people aim to be a millionaire or have a house. People think women have the strength to earn money with a high-income job, have a high social status and be independent. Truly, in today’s society, money and power symbolize success. Some of my friends think that my school principal is a successful woman. Although she is old, she still participates in all the activities. She has got the greatest power. Also, she has built up the reputation of our school. She fights for all the challenges the school faces. To some of my schoolmates, she is a successful woman.
I have an auntie who was once a director of an investment bank. At that time, she thought she was successful. After some years, she felt really tired. Then, she went to a religious organization to be a volunteer worker. She prayed for needy people every day. This makes her day fruitful. When she recalled her memory, she told me that her life now is definitely more successful than the past days. She said that helping and influencing others is successful to her. She thinks praising God and helping God is successful to her.
To conclude, the definition of a successful woman is different to everyone, but to me, being happy and having religion as well as being independent are the qualities of a successful woman.
