The word success is a beautiful one. Everyone wants to identify with it. The musician, lawyer, politician, businessman, pastor etc want to be referred to as a successful musician, successful lawyer, successful politician, successful pastor, successful businessman. Even if armed robbers have the absolute command of the use of word, they would have referred to themselves as successful armed robbers. But that is not true.
Success is a very relative term and it has diverse connotations. Many persons would want to associate success with plenty money, a lot of property owned by an individual, so many honours and titles etc. The not wealthy man with a lovely wife and well behaved children is much more successful at the home front than a very rich man with violent wife and children. The sprinter that wins a gold medal at the Olympic Games is a success.
