To me:
being successful is getting what you want (whatever it is.. wealth, health, relationship, popularity, etc)
being happy is wanting what you get at the moment (although you don't get what you want yet).. 8)
"If you want to be happy, be"
~ Leo Tolstoy

Money can't buy everything..but everything need money..so money is important but not the most..
[at] Wijayananda
U r right not the most, so why we always say "money is not everything, but everything needs money" why we dont just reserve it, "everything needs money, but money is not everthing"
By this sentence,we didnt so emphasize the importance of money..(◦'⌣'◦)
what's important is can eat three meals a day, have a roof to shelter, have clothes to wear.
Those things need money, that's why it is important.
am I happy to be poor? no
don't have enough money to eat, to live, to wear~ I just don't like this idea
...
but do I need money to be happy? no I only need money to keep on living and raise family.
I am just very happy if I can do what I love to do~
:)

Free indomie : you can donate blood
Free lunch : go to Vihara on Sunday
Free live : you can stay in Vihara actually
Free television to watch : just go to your neighbour

poor has 2 meaning poverty & pity. poor cat = kucing yg kasihan. Poverty is the lack of basic human needs, such as clean water, nutrition, health care, education, clothing and shelter, because of the inability to afford them. wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty).

poor means a lottt...not only money, maybe wisdom, or knowledge...
no, poors means lack of basic needs. while money, wisdom, knowledge are not basic needs.
the more proper word for your sentense is lack, not poor...
lack can be applied for anything :)
lack of desire, lack of wisdom, lack of knowledge, so on...
if you can live on without those things, than you are not poor, simply you are lack of it (wisdom, knowledge, desire, money)... when comes to basic needs, one will die (or dying) without it, thats why we call them poor (also means pity) ;)
it's hard to feel happy BECAUSE I'm poor (financially). It looks like I'm trying to relieve myself from the burden of being POOR. ;D
I think happiness has little things to do with happiness. It depends on how much you cling on it (money).
I'm not guaranteed to be happy only because I have a lot of money or no money at all (poor me ^-^).
But I agree, worldly happiness depends much on money. So, if what you mean is worldly happiness, I guess it's hard for me to be happy BECAUSE i'm POOR ... instead, it seems like misery.

I don't really understand what beauty there is in the lack of support and love of family. Elaborate?
Quotecoz im poor of knowledge, then i would start to learn n keep learning...
Many people [literally] stupid and poor of knowledge, yet they don't care of learning. What truly drives one to learn is enough wisdom to realize that learning is necessary whether they're smart already or not.
Quotecoz im poor of money, then i would work to have it...
This one, I think I got the point. But precisely, IMO, not the state of poor economy that makes you work, but the sense of responsibility. Rich children aren't obliged to earn income because they already have enough. Nevertheless, many of them still work their way too.
On the other side, poor children generally demanded to work to support. But lack of sense of responsibility often obstruct them and they end up getting worse. Thus, I don't think that poverty makes you work.
Quotecoz im poor, after i hav some money, i will appreciate it by spending it wisely...
This one I agree... to certain degree. Of course poor people hardly have money to spend, so they must choose wisely. But it's also uncommon among them to spend it rashly.
Quotecoz im poor, if one day i would be successful woman, I would appreciate every moment of being "more than others" and sharing them to those who needed.
We can always be grateful of what we have now if we have contentment in moderation. We never have to compare with others (who have 'more' or 'less' than us) because you'd be awfully miserable when you got no one 'less' to compare to.
To me, it's about us against ourselves, our moderation against our greed. The less greed you have, the more 'happiness' you'll get.
