It’s an interesting take, and allows for constant reinterpretation of success and failure, which sound terminal, but I don’t think they are. http://www.theminimalists.com/direction/

Unlike you, I’ve never seen myself in either of these terms. I’ve achieved some things but I’ve never been successful. Some things haven’t worked and yet I’ve never failed. I just haven’t been either good enough or bad enough for either in my vision.

Of course now I’m on a major quest to attain a dream, and I have a year. Success won’t necessarily be measured by whether I hit the dream or not, though my mind is set to hit it, and the same goes for failure. What will define success and failure in my mind is if I grow from the experience or not. And most probably, me being me, I’ll still end up somewhere in the middle. ;-)
