I really dont have any definition for success. I dont think it will be appropriate if I say I feel successful if I am able to finish my work by the end of the day. Not even fulfilling dreams or realizing aim or goals. Sometimes failures take us to a higher level of understanding.
I guess for me success is living my life happily as per my philosophy & thats a tough thing to do but not impossible & day by day it is becoming like a nature. So, I should say success is something which helps you grow , helps you to see a bigger pic of almost everything and makes u larger than life yet still very much stable & down to earth .

Do not confuse success with contentment and peace of mind etc.
Success is an achievement which comes to you by dint of hard and sincere work. You may the ask: what should be the level of achievement to call you a successful man? The answer is: a level that becomes helpful in climbing another ladder of endeavour, a level that brings a measure of satisfaction to you and your associates, family etc.

The American transcendentalist, Ralph Waldo Emerson defined success as such:
"To laugh often and much; to win the 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."
I can think of no better answer...

Success is not a measured in terms of money.
You have to be best of the best in area you belong to if require others certificate.
You are successful even you don't reach to top in your area of operation if you compare with limited no. of people around you only.
Take an example of Manmohan Singh the Indian Prime Minister , he is P.M.that way he is successful as far as his own party is concern but not successful in terms of all P.M.'s.

One persons success is often the same as another persons failure.
One needs a lot of money to feel like a success.
Another just needs his family.

Success is when you are in total peace with yourself. There's no point if I achieve a 100 million dollars as per what I wanted if I couldn't do it by a fair means. I'd be rather dying of wtih the guilt of my selfish acts...

success is gaining something that genuinely makes one happy.
It can be anything at any level of life, like
wining a bicycle race, gaining 51% of shares on some company stocks, or as simple as getting a girlfriend of a girl next door

Success, is measured by the amount of peace of mind I have. I will be successful when I am in complete harmony with the universe.

Success is a result that one wished for and worked for, and yet one can never be absolutely sure that it came about entirely on one's own doing.... that is why the moment of success is so enjoyable!!

As long as you are happy and contented with the results of the things you did, that's how we called success.
