I think you're being a little bit weasly here. They do have a shared definition of success and you are part of that, as am I. The definition does not have to be identical to be useful.

That's fair, I think I was being, yep (in order to try to pick apart and perhaps critique what are widely agreed as successful achievements).

And you have a point there. Certainly people have different concrete definitions (and wishes) for success. I'm not your average struggle porn/ you can also be successful-morons :)
