Recently, to measure how successful a person is, while some base their income as the main measurement, some use the contribution to society they make instead. However, I believe that someone’s success should be evaluated mainly based on how much people devote themselves to society.

On the one hand, people nowadays use tangible assets to evaluate others. Their concepts of success seem quite materialistic: earning a handsome income, driving nice cars, living in big houses and putting on fancy clothes. This is also a misconception created by the modern media, which usually depicts successful people as ones with a great number of monetary assets. Just based on how wealthy their appearance and belongings are, these people can usually receive privileges automatically given by people around them, making them even more outstanding than they actually are. As a result, if the money they can earn is higher and more lucrative, people will immediately assume that those individuals are more successful. 

On the other hand, I still believe that the key way to measure success is to look at their valuable contributions to the society they live in. The values that workers like scientists and teachers could offer in fact have more significant and long-lasting impacts on society than just money. For example, the legacy of scientists left to human beings, such as new scientific findings, can save millions of lives. Besides, teachers are the ones who are responsible for educating the next generations of humans. Whether these latter generations can become useful to the world and contribute to the well-being of the future world or destroy the earth with their unethical wrongdoings all depends on how well the teachers do their job. From those, it is obvious to see the long-lasting effects of these careers, which would be the significant elements to see how successful they and their society are.

In general, people could use either possessions and income they own or their devotion to identify the success of others. However, from my perspective, the scale of contribution to society could be the best measurement of others’ success.

The most successful money makers are thought to be the most successful people in the modern world, some say. However, others feel that social contributors such as scientists and teachers enjoy the maximum success. A critical assessment is needed to decide on the two views as both are prominent sectors of the current society.

The key reason behind the former group’s argument is because the wealthy enjoy the power of money to a greater extent. To be precise, most material things and the best available services can be bought when a person has a lot of money to roll in. For example, only an extremely wealthy can think of space tourism today, while for others, it remains a dream of their lifetime. Unlike the past, the society’s attitude towards money has changed, as they now realise that insufficient money would cause crises of different types. In fact they started considering money directly proportional to the level of contentment and satisfaction a person enjoys.

However, others feel that the social value which people such as scientists and teachers enjoy can be hardly bought with money. To be clearer, the services and contributions of these people are considered invaluable in the society and can be hardly measured in terms of money. For example, teachers show the light of knowledge and create the base of the success of any person in the society. Similarly, scientists benefit the society by innovations which are either critical like the vaccine inventions or progressive like 5G technology. Therefore, the level of success they enjoy should be placed above the rich or the affluent.

After analysing both these views in detail, it is clear that one should recognise the efforts of people who can roll in exorbitant amount of money. However, I think those who directly contribute to the society should be seen as more successful.
