Oftentimes, success is considered to essentially be the abundance of money. Anyone who is seen to have expensive cars, owns luxurious houses, pricey jewelries, designer clothes and accessories and the like are impulsively considered to be successful, even if they are political robbers, drug dealers and criminals in general. It is incongruous that success is particularly measured by financial wealth, power, and fame that individuals or groups of people acquire, which are predicated on self-gratification.

Without a doubt, money is very impactful and can enhance an individual’s overall success as it remains a veritable means of exchange. It is not the root of evil as is commonly portrayed by many. The lack of contentment and the abuse of money remains the root of all kinds of evil. Success does not appear accidentally. It always leaves tracks or clues. 

Do not equate success with solely the abundance of money because life is more than money. There are many issues of life that money has no solution for, for instance, money cannot buy hope, trust, time, wisdom, honesty, dignity, patience, happiness, longevity, experience, morality, loyalty, determination, good reputation, peace of mind, good health, common sense and good friendships. Success is the result of applied knowledge. There is good success, and there is also bad success. However, one must be guided by the fact that everything on Earth is a fleeting and transient experience.
