Well there are many definitions for success in life, business and personal life. Here is Ralph Waldo Emerson's definition of success and can't we all relate to this...
To laugh
often and much,
to win respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch, or a
redeemed social condition;
to know even one life
has breathed easier
because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

My definition is that a person that is doing in life whatever it is that gives them purpose is a successful person.

If A is a success in life, then A=X+Y+Z, where X is work, Y is play, and Z is to keep your mouth shut!

The definition of success is defined by the definer.......
So I think it would be fair to say "Deciding you want to acquire or achieve some goal, and successfully acquiring/achieving it" would make sense.

Sucess is avoiding the defeat and go further to conquer.
Personnel Sucess is to put the opponent false.
