What is the meaning of success? Each person has a different measurement for success. Some would associate success with lots of money, big houses, expensive cars, a promotion in one's work, stable careers, winning in lottery, exhilarating travels, winning in contests, finishing a course with latin honors, and many more. So when a group of people is asked to define success, each member of the group will give a different meaning depending on his/her outlook in life.
The New Britannica Webster Dictionary and Reference Guide defines success as (1) a favorable completion of something and (2) the gaining of wealth, favor, or prestige.
