Hello friend how are you, I hope you have gotten the time to rest after long days of work during the week? I myself still have a little to settle at work today, judging today is weekend I will have to close early at work and get a little rest.
You said quit a lot about success and just according what you said about many people having different perspective and definition about being successful.
According to dictionary; success is the
degree or measure of succeeding
b: favorable or desired outcome
also : the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence
2: one that succeeds
3: obsolete : OUTCOME.
Literally this is what many of us sees success to be in life, yes I don't doubt that is the act at which we succeed at every level in life and also being able to obtain what ever we want to our satisfaction.
However to me this goes a long way for me to accept as the meaning of being successful. To me success have to be the level at which other say about the good you have done, about the arm you have given, let your success reach the stage at which others testify that you're successful in life.
