Absolutely wonderful! Loved it!
You are very right and I second your opinion. For me, meaning of success,'' If your input yields required output then it's success."

But it's an ongoing process, rather we should choose excellence without comparing ourselves with others. We should run our own race, competition with no one.

Unfortunately, how society measures that a person is successful? bitter answer: economic conditions. Means if one is with enough money then he his successful and it's a yard stick even if you disagree.
