Tpave: As in striving to be a very popular person like celebrities and power like a well known political figure eg IBB, OBJ AND JONATHAN.

Very simple, go and join politics!

@OP how well have you impacted your immediate environment? You can begin with the motherless babies home. Pick up a cause and believe in it.

you are very typical

Making Heaven

Tpave: After education, house, car and children. Is there any other achievement that one needs to be called a successful man. I believe that fame and power is an extra achievement. Pls let us discuss about it.

Bros, u nd 2 strive hard 2 overcome dis challenges, bcus wot u mention here does not mean u'r successful. Circumstances can make someone sell those things during difficult time, but not ur degrees n children o
Wot I've 2say is dat so far u'r still alive n u've attain all dis things, I believe u nd 2 start n build ur future right away which are ur children, and once ur children are in school, struggle continues den if you really wish dem well ooooooooooo

you need JESUS CHRIST

In life u can b successful n yet nt fufilled,so after avin all dat u said d next big tin is to fulfill destiny or ur set goal

Tpave: my brother that is the first and major achievement. Thanks.

if u really have Christ then you will not ask this kind of question that potrays you as a man that doesn't know the reason for his existence.even dogs have children ,even birds have comfortable nest and even bees have good jobs.so whats the big deals about cars etc .these are the preoccupation of gentiles.

Help the needy & less privileged you come across & impact everyone around you positively.

...Paradise, much important than...that is, you need to be dutiful to your Lord

Those things you mentioned are indeed what makes a man successful, I dont think you need any other thing.
However being successful is not the destination, it is just a means through which God has given you resources to impact upon the life of others.
What you need now is to be a channel of blessing to others, this does not only mean giving people money but more of giving them knowledge on how to be successful like you from your wealth of experience, empowering people to start up sustainable things, being a loving model to your children and a responsible husband to your wife.
Remember , this life was suppose to be a training school and a fragment of the eternity you were created for.

ALL U NEED IS CHRIST

You need to learn how to hear the voice of God.
Find out what He wants you to do and go ahead and do it.
Then your job is done and you are ready to go home and be with Jesus.

Please note, this is not a easy thing to do but is most rewarding life experience.

All the best

Well you need to touch another person's life. Help them get those things too and then you can say you've really lived.

Invest on your children and help the needy around you.

@op u forget to add wife to ur list, na who go born the pikin dem for u nau?

You are more than these people you mentioned that's if u have Jesus Christ because Jesus Christ is priceless...

From my end, I have no answer...

VANITY UPON VANITY = VANITY. WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN TO GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOOSE HIS SOUL? DO YOU HAVE JESUS? ARE YOU SAVED? IS YOUR TREASURE HEAVEN? THIS IS THE MAIN ACHIEVEMENT.

Tiwanna: @op u forget to add wife to ur list, na who go born the pikin dem for u nau?

That's to tell you that that(family) has been added...

Ones u don get all dis, abeg make u dey prepare 4 heaven, u must acept JESU as ur personal saviour

Humans!
Insatiable animal.

Human wants are unlimited.

@OP
You speak like a student.
Don't worry, soon you will understand the meaning of the word "Human"

wife nko...abi u wan do like tuface

What you need is peace of mind, which comes from doing the right thing and making sound decisions in life, joy and true happiness. Without these things all material things are useless! Those are great achievements, and being happy with what you have gained in life and appreciating them will continue to create joy! Being of service to your community will bring wealth and effortless success!

It is so funny that so many people will say you need Jesus, but have a problem loving thy neighbor as they love themselves, forgiving those that wronged them etc; judging other people, condemning other religions smh Religion is so funny that people will commit atrocities and later claimed to be save and born again thinking they will not pay for what they have committed unto others, you people are fooling yourself, whatever you do will come back to you, no matter you confess and give your life to Christ. The unhappiest people I know are the most religious

Na to die na

an education, a house, car, wife and kids are society's definition of success/happiness. which is why most people get married just because they think they 'should'. it's just society's way of inculcating individuals into a group with set laws/guidelines that form cultures and pave the path for people to succumb/adhere to.

Fulfillment however, is a different paradigm all together, it involves self sufficiency, peace and contentment in the knowledge of ones' abilities and even disabilities. it's that level you attain in life where you're no longer after materials things. you seldom have any fears. you're totally in control of who and what you are. you revel in the solemn truth of what you're infinitely capable of because you know that you are filled with possibilities far beyond human comprehension. it's a quiet assurance that you're here, and that you would strive to let generations after you, know that you were indeed, here.

purpose
meaning
contentment
inner strength and beauty
courage
......and life.

instead of living a life, so many people exist in life.
Don't make that mistake. you'll wake up one day and ask yourself the very bitter question; "what am i doing here?"
