Introduction of comments for each option (some excerpts, options without comments are not published, original text)
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle
If someone is bedridden for years until they die or has to be cared for for a long time, it can be difficult no matter how much friends, family, or sense of accomplishment they have. (11 votes)
financial stability
Because money is important. I can’t live without money, and I can’t make my family happy. For yourself, to protect your loved ones. (12 votes)
artistic expression or creative achievement
I believe that what is important is what we leave behind for the departing world. (11 votes)
Enhancing human relationships (other than family)
I consider it a success if I can find someone I can love. (12 votes) presence of family
When asked the question, “Who do you want to make happy?”, the first thing that comes to mind is family. Although I was not wealthy, I was able to grow up in a warm and loving family, so the moment when I can see my family’s smiling faces is the happiest moment of all.

mental peace and happiness
Because I think it is important to know when enough is enough. However, it is very karmic and difficult to understand. (28 votes) Realizing your ideal lifestyle
I chose “Realizing your ideal lifestyle” because it represents finding and living your true self. We believe that by pursuing your hopes and dreams, you can understand yourself and achieve personal growth. (9 votes)
Others (free description)
In this fast-changing and uncertain society known as VUCA, I don’t know if it’s meaningful to define “what success is” and move forward with a single goal. I believe that “life” cannot be found rationally, proactively, or efficiently. (15 upvotes) Click here for the full text of this comment https://surfvote.com/issues/lef5x4kxniah/comments/2621 I don’t know
I’m currently a third year university student, and to be honest, I have no idea what success means in life. I truly respect all of you who can choose with confidence here. I may be a sly opinion given all the options available to me, but I believe that success in life cannot be attributed to something fixed. Specifically, I feel that success in life changes depending on age, situation, and context, and that success for a single person fluctuates and cycles many times over the course of one’s life.
