We often associate success with money and hard work. For example, someone who studies diligently, graduates from university, completes postgraduate studies, and lands a high-paying job is typically seen as professionally successful. They are perceived as reaping the rewards of their hard work. This mindset is common and makes sense to many. However, I doubt it's entirely accurate because if it were, we would have as many bosses as workers. Success isn't just about high-paying jobs. People who aim to have a family or run a small business and achieve these goals are also successful in their own right.

Some people view money as the best measure of success due to the societal focus on material wealth. In many cultures, financial achievement is often seen as the primary indicator of a person's success, overshadowing other forms of accomplishment. This perspective is reinforced by the visibility and tangibility of financial success, making it a seemingly straightforward and objective metric to gauge one's achievements.
