Do most of you feel that if you are not sore the next day from working out, that that workout was a waste? Should every work out leave you sore?

Then how do u know you worked out good enough?

I know while I am doing it, if I set out to do x number of sets with x amount of weight for x number of reps and I succeed, then it was good enough.
There are times when I want to get sore, I actually have that goal in mind, I call it a "shock work-out", in fact I did it on arms my last work-out, my goal was to get them sore! And I did.
My point is, soreness is not necessary for hypertrophy to occur.
