How should success be measured?

By that measurement, who is the most successful person you know?

In my opinion a successful person is someone who has found a way of doing what they love to do. As a result of that they have found peace of mind, a reason to live and have helped other people along the way. There are few people like that.

Also some people who seem to be successful are not. I knew a man who seemed successful financially, physically and was quite respected in the community. Last Monday he killed himself, so obviously his visible "success" wasn't real.

I also know people who are rich compared to the average person but when I look a bit closer at their business dealings I see dishonesty happening.

Success seems to mean different things to different people.

Agreed.
Loving the life you're living is one of the most important factors to success imho.
