    For the first time in my life, I disagree with the dictionary. Success is defined as a favorable result, or the gaining of wealth, position, and other similar things. My definition of success is one that is never truly attainable. So, in a way, there exists a "super-success", which can be defined as one's end goal. In life, one can never truly obtain their greatest wish, so that cannot be success; and for me, it is not. Success (in my mind) is achieving your goals, doing what you love

    term which varies from person to person; to me success is improving oneself each day. Bob Dylan remarked that “a man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.” I disagree with his definition of success. What a person wants to do each day can be self-destructive and unhealthy, but there are also things people do not want to do which aide in self-improvement. Doing whatever a person pleases can devastate a person’s mental and physical

    What is success? The definition of success I believe is very personal and will be different for everyone.

Success is also the feeling of finally being able to
