What is the meaning of success?

Success (the opposite of failure) is the status of having achieved and accomplished an aim or objective. Being successful means the achievement of desired visions and planned goals. Furthermore, success can be a certain social status that describes a prosperous person that could also have gained fame for its favorable outcome. The dictionary describes success as the following: “attaining wealth, prosperity and/or fame”.

To me it is achievement of a task. 

I think that the success is the ability to achieve balancing among the different aspects of life and applying good intentions, sayings, actions for doing achievements that could satisfy your God, your self, and provide help for others which leads you to paradise in permanent life after death.

Success is discovering what you truly love and being able to make a career of it.

The meaning of success can vary depending on the individual and their goals, values, and beliefs. Generally, success is the achievement of one's desired outcome or goal. It can be measured by various factors such as wealth, fame, accomplishments, personal growth, or fulfillment. Success can also be subjective and influenced by cultural and societal norms. Ultimately, success is a personal definition and can change throughout one's life.

Success has the dimentional focus If a person get Higher Education it will be his success in education/research on a specific field, at the other end we keep in mind that how much this achievement is valueable for his institution and supevisor, like wise in any organization someone get o very good job and He/She is satisfied with his job role and remunaration but the point is this weather he is how much usefull for the institution, basically success is the name of satisfaction.

Being successful means the achievement of desired visions and planned goals. Furthermore, success can be a certain social status that describes a prosperous person that could also have gained fame for its favorable outcome. The dictionary describes success as the following: “attaining wealth, prosperity and/or fame”

To me success is 95% visions and 2% goals 2% inspiration 1% emotions, a 100% dreams, happiness and earning potential.

When we talk about a "successful" person, we're typically talking about someone who's got billions in their bank account, someone who's authored multiple bestsellers, or maybe someone who's in charge of an entire nation.

But if you ask people who fit the conventional definition of a successful individual, many will tell you that those achievements aren't what make them feel accomplished.

It is just the factors that go with success and being on present always that achieves success.

1.         Though Sir Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, is worth some $5 billion, the Virgin founder equates success with personal fulfillment.

"Too many people measure how successful they are by how much money they make or the people that they associate with," he wrote on LinkedIn. "In my opinion, true success should be measured by how happy you are."

2.         Huffington says that while we tend to think of success along two metrics — money and power — we need to add a third.

"To live the lives we truly want and deserve, and not just the lives we settle for, we need a Third Metric," she told Forbes' Dan Schawbel, "a third measure of success that goes beyond the two metrics of money and power, and consists of four pillars: well-being, wisdom, wonder, and giving."

Together, those factors help you to take care of your psychological life and truly be successful, or as the title of her 2014 book, "Thrive," suggests.

3.         "Shark Tank" regular Cuban offers a surprisingly simple take on success.

In an interview with Steiner Sports, he said:

"To me, the definition of success is waking up in the morning with a smile on your face, knowing it's going to be a great day. I was happy and felt like I was successful when I was poor, living six guys in a three-bedroom apartment, sleeping on the floor."

4.         With 620 victories and 10 national titles, Wooden is the winningest coach in college basketball history. 

But his definition of success was more about competing with yourself than the other guy:

"Peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you're capable," he said in a 2001 TED Talk.

With a net worth of $77.4 billion, Buffett is just about the wealthiest person in the world, second only to Bill Gates. And yet his definition of success has nothing to do with money or fame.

5.         As James Altucher writes, the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway once told shareholders at an annual meeting: "I measure success by how many people love me."

Gates is the wealthiest person in the world, with a net worth of $86 billion,  But to him, success is about relationships and leaving behind a legacy.

In a Reddit AMA, Gates took a tip from Warren Buffett when asked about his definition of success:

"Warren Buffett has always said the measure [of success] is whether the people close to you are happy and love you."

He added: "It is also nice to feel like you made a difference — inventing something or raising kids or helping people in need."

6.         Obama once held the highest office in the land — but he doesn't equate power with success.

At the 2012 Democratic National Convention, First Lady Michelle Obama told the audience that her husband "started his career by turning down high-paying jobs and instead working in struggling neighborhoods where a steel plant had shut down."

She went on:

"For Barack, success isn't about how much money you make. It's about the difference you make in people's lives."

7.         Edison — holder of over 1,000 patents — had an insane work ethic. He was reported to work 60 consecutive hours on occasion.

So naturally, his definition of success is equally ambitious: "Success is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration."
