Success is something that can be defined in several ways depending on the type of person you are. Success can be quantifiable by your wealth or “riches” or it can be measured by your happiness in life. This can range from anything including money, love, or even career stability. This means that success can even be reached through marriage to someone that they really love, if that’s what they value in life. Cinderella was miserable in her life until she went to the ball and married the prince. Although complete overnight life transformations don’t really exist, being with someone you love can make you successful. There are several real-life examples of couples find success in marriage that encompasses both love and riches. For example, Bill and Melinda Gates met at the start of the company that he co-founded, Microsoft. They loved each other and it eventually grew into the tech giant that it is today. They loved each other and found economic success. The idea that you’ll be able ton reach success through marriage overnight is false. You can’t expect the real world to be like a fairy-tale where all your dreams come true. But various ideas of success can be achieved through marriage. Reaching success through magic however is clearly not possibly. Real people can’t expect their fairy god mother to come save them, or that magical birds will grant them any wish. Success however you define it in real life can only be achieved with hard work and it’s not realistic to believe that it can be achieved by magic.
