According to a study from the University of Northern Iowa, "The truly fortunate people are not those who succeed in life, but those who succeed in living". Success in life can be overdone where as success in living can never be exceeded. Meaning one may have a whole lot of money and nothing to do with it, and they also may be unhappy- this is success in life. Where as success in living can be a person with little money, no job, and a small house with only their spouse next to them, and still be exceedingly more happy than the man with money.
This article shows that there is such thing as being too successful, but it depends if you are getting your success through living, or obtaining your success from life.
- Success in business is money
- Success in living is happiness
- Life's success consists of what you want it to
- Life is different than how someone lives
- No one can judge another persons success without knowing them
- Judging people by their income is not a judge of success

Timeliness: July 1908, which is fine because it gives us insight of what success was and what it is now.
Can it be true that happiness outweighs success, or does money buy the happiness which intact creates success?
