The following signs of success by poet, Ralph Waldo Emerson are very worthwhile signs of success:
"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded" (source).
Here are two more important signs of success from the wisdom of Solomon:
“Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all” (Ecclesiastes 12:13; cf. Deuteronomy 10:12; Joshua 1:1-9).
