Today's world offers moreopportunity for people in small village to come to big city to pursue theirdream. However, can we assert that people who go out from their village will bemore successful and happier? In my opinion, we cannot make such an assertion. Iwould like to discuss success and happiness separately since they are mutuallydistinctive.
What do we consider to be successful? Fame, money,social status, all of which has been traditionally considered symbol ofsuccess. However, to my point of view, only oneself can define whether he orshe is success. To lay a foundation for future discussion, I would definesuccess as whether one considers he reached his goal. Under this definition, wecan see that success can be either big or small. If my target today is to doone thing that beneficial for others, I can simply help someone on the streetand then I would say I succeeded. For people whose dream is to live in the sunfor 1 year, he may not succeed during his life time. So when we talk aboutpeople who move from village to city, whether they are more successful thanpeople who stay in their village cannot even be determined since rarely dopeople share the same goal. Even if coincidentally that there is two peopleshare the same goal, say earn 1000 dollars, and then one of them move to thecity, another stays in village. In this case they both reached their target, wecould only say that they are both successful people. On the other hand, ask ten people what would makethem feel happy, we may very likely to get ten distinct answers since everyonehas their own criteria to happiness. For example, if I think I can remain happyas long as I stay in the village, can you claim that people who go out ofvillage is happier? The answer is obvious, to such a subjective and vaguequestion, everyone has his own standard and it's impractical to make acomparison. What's more, successful people can be unhappy whilehappy people can also be not successful. Assume that Peter, who live in avillage, his would feel happy if he stays in village, and his goal of success isto move to big city, in that condition, he can be either successful but unhappyor happy but not successful, how can we make a comparison of people out of thevillage and people who stay. To sum up, this complex and subjective questioncannot be answered since it's different for everyone to define success andhappiness, we cannot make the assertion that whether people who live out oftheir village is more successful and happier than people who stay in their village.
