The one unpardonable sin against one's fellows. In literature, and particularly in poetry, the elements of success are exceedingly simple, and are admirably set forth in the following lines by the reverend Father Gassalasca Jape, entitled, for some mysterious reason, "John A. Joyce." The bard who would prosper must carry a book, Do his thinking in prose and wear A crimson cravat, a far-away look And a head of hexameter hair. Be thin in your thought and your body'll be fat; If you wear your hair long you needn't your hat.
The favorable or prosperous termination of anything attempted; the attainment of a proposed object; prosperous issue.
an attainment that is successful; "his success in the marathon was unexpected"; "his new play was a great success"
a state of prosperity or fame; "he is enjoying great success"; "he does not consider wealth synonymous with success"
Each of us has our own definition of success. One man says success is a lousy teacher; it seduces smart people into thinking they can't fail. (Bill Gates). Another says that you can wear out a particular part of his mind by continually using it and tiring it. The tired parts of the mind can be rested and strengthened by using other parts (Winston Churchill).
The full rigged ship Success is best known as a travelling museum purporting to represent the horrors of penal transportation in Great Britain and the United States of America between the 1890s and the 1930s.
