For many it's taking your private jet to your uninhabited island, where on the beach sits your luxury mansion with 3 swimming pools and a Lamborghini, Bentley and Aston Martin sitting in the garage.

Isn't that what success really is though?  

You can find happiness in an employed position of course, but you can also find it in many other ways.
