I want to know how you view success and what are those that you consider a success. Can we really measure success? If yes, how and why do we need to measure it?
Thanks for hearing from ya all myLotters! Gonna use this for my new module.

Success is not a physical quantity that can be measured and also there is not unit to measure success but yes i think we can measure success some how in terms of some other human aspects. Happiness can be one measure of success. How happy the person is often shows how successful he or she is. Contentment is also another aspects to measure success. Living standards and livelihood would also indicate how successful he or she is.

You got it there!
But there are people who views success in a different way. There are people who consider it to be a success when their revenge plots for their enemies were executed accordingly. Other people become happy when they hurt their enemies feelings. There are people who claims contentment when their competitors lose or penalized.
These people are successful hurting people. They find pleasure in hurting other people. You know why? Because once in their lifetime, they were the first to be hurt. Hurting people hurt other people.
Beware of them.

Yes, you are correct! Success is a state of mind as well as with failure. Sometimes, even when we failed on something, we can switch our thinking and replace failure with success. But that only happens when we see the lessons behind our failures and we see opportunities out of the problems brought by our failures.
However, when we think that we still failed eventhough we really had a level of success, that only means two: discontentment or obsession to perfection.
