Success: A 'Perceptional' Term

What is success??? Is a person who has become the CEO of the biggest multinational at the age of 33 a success? Or Is a person who gave up a bright future to stay back in a small town to make a stable living for his family a success? Or is an extremely well educated lady who gave up her 'career' for her newborn child a success? What is success anyways? Who defined what is success??? What made them come to a conclusion about its defination??? Different people have different definitions about success. It all depends what is life to you. What is your perception regarding achievement.
Today if we look around us, we would see people running behind money, promotions, appraisals, fame, power etc etc etc. Since we were kids, it has been ingrained in our brains through various medias that success is if you get good marks in the exams or if you do well(which basically means earn lot of money). But what makes it a success.
As we grow up older, slowly few fortunate ones realize that success is much more than money and promotions. But most of us get stuck in the maze called 'SUCCESS' all our lives.
Some might define success as doing things that would make people remember you even after you are gone. Everyone is perishable, those people who remember you will perish one day too...what then? How does it matter what others think about you when they are as much a bundle of flesh and blood as we are. Whats the point of this?
Whats the point of all the 'success' if you are not happy? Whats the point of all this if you are not at a stage where nothing can touch your soul? Whats the point of all this running when you are not even in the direction.

So my question remains the same...What is success???
