Is Being Rich The True Measurement Of A Man’s Success?

BY IYANDA   •   August 9, 2015   •   1 MIN READ

How do you measure a man’s true success? Is it fair to base the success of an individual on the number of cars or houses he has? What is the true measure of a man’s success if the number of cars or houses he has is not the true way to determine how successful he is?

Sadly, that’s the way the society views and measures a rich man. No matter how rich you are in life, the average Nigerian man will only value and rate you by how fat your bank account is; but is it the best way to value him?

According to a popular song released by a renowned musician Eric Donaldson long time ago, “the success you make my friend is not always how rich you are…;” but society, especially in Nigeria differs in their opinion.

So would you consider yourself to be a rich man without having other basic things in life such as education? Would you value a rich but uneducated person above that person who is educated, but not rich? Is money the only means of measuring a man’s success?
