Success

What exactly is the criteria of success? I would look askance to your resume shrined with honorable mentions and first place winnings and room adorned with trophies of an elaborate sort if you did but twiddle your thumbs in your room to achieve them. And to older members stable in finance and with a home and family of admirable stature, a look, too, of consolation for you if you did but pay a fee to a higher authority to achieve such unmeritable successes.

To the man who straightened out his back through the toil and struggle in order to find himself at the top, more power to you. But to he who threw in the towel, or wishes to, when faced with the prospect of the notion "I can't do it. I can't be successful," heed this question and it's response.

What is the criteria of success?

The answer?

While cliche as encouragement it is a meritable word of advice when faced with hardship and doubt:

Your success is defined by you.
