True success is truly measured by what you have left when you go to the grave. For the living, the quest to succeed is an ongoing process for nothing in human life is ever utterly perfectly complete until nothing more can be done.
This is because to me success means achieving the best results possible to my satisfaction having exploited my potential in whatever area to my considered utmost and therefore being able to move to a new area for nothing more can be done in the old.
So you see the measure of it is complicated for the things in which we measure success in can never be complete i.e. parenting, family, spiritual, education, etc. Physical feats are temporary and their success therefore easily measurable e.g. going to the moon, climbing a mountain, winning a race, passing an exam. On the other hand, one can only say they have been a successfully happily married person when one or the other partner says goodbye to the union by the separation of death.
