Success is when you've significantly improved your users' lives. Great success is when you do this with tons of users. Marlboro is a failure. Wikipedia is a great success.

Marlboro is not a failure. It improved the lives of hundreds of millions of people by helping them live the dream of being a handsome cowboy while they rode the subway to work.
