Success can be defined by purists as attainment of a stated and desired set of objectives within a given resource constraint. As defined hereinabove there are two distinct aspects in achieving success one is clarity in statement of objectives and the next is the process through which such stated objectives can be achieved, of course with the universal underlying assumption of resources are always a scarce commodity.
Sometime back I was wondering what is the chemical and psychological composition of success. Is success a transformation which changes an individual's outlook towards life, some people believe that nothing tastes better than success. It makes an individual feel more confident about his/her abilities. Success should be celebrated big time, as you never know how many failures you may face in your future path. But I was wondering is success like a trigger which makes one aware of one's own ability. It is like one always had those skills but then it needed a trigger to make him/her believe that it exists. This phenomena is observed often with people who are not confident of their abilities and need external support to realize their inherent potential.
If there is some amount of truth in above paragraph then success can be a dope for all diseases. It would be a panacea, seems logical right, but hang on! If this was the truth then why cant one success cure all the maladies in a person's life, have you ever wondered about this. So you need more and more of success in your life, greed for more success (incidentally Greed is considered a sin) in order to constantly cure one's ills. Hence, Success is not a panacea but a "crocin" for limited relief, it is definitely not a cure. So why is it valued so much in any person's life? why do people keep chasing success all their life. I believe it is quite human to run after mirages (read success and/or results and/or products) which of course don't exist. It is like humans running a race to be winners but then in race there is no winner but then there are lots of losers (interested readers can read similar analogy in my blog on Mumbai here). So success is a myth, it only boosts one's ego temporarily but then one comes back to the original state subsequently. How about failure, will the same analogy work for failure as well, NO it does not. Failure can break you any day and is a truth and reality. I don’t think there is any argument about this.

Some of the ideas have due reference to my friends philosophy about process and product (interested readers can read his view here), I completely subscribe to such views.
