Success = getting the balance right between family, work, 'community', and independence, accepting that the balance will shift in different directions over time. Money and status are important, and a by-product of achieving this balance.
How do I recognise it? The sense of satisfaction and accomplishment I feel in relation to what I achieve in each domain, on the basis that I've done all that is humanly possible. And where I haven't, accepting that too.

The Watcher - in essence, success is in the eye of the beholder so just to widen the goalpoats a bit. Maybe the question should be what is your definition of success with the wider community or the African community in mind. How do all the individuals who make up that community attribute success to that community.
I come from that school called mug where my individual achievements don't mean much if my people can't enjoy it with me and me theirs and while Africa is under bondage. If it's about acadmeic achievement, money, holidays, house, car, the experience of 'husband/wife 'and child all resident under one roof i.e. family, then I've been very successful in the realisation and achievement of self defined goals....even if they turn out to be temporary.
Is the reality hat with no community wide defined goals, even personal success is less achievable when other people are involved in the equation..hence expressions like independant woman?

What does it mean to you?
To me success is achieving the goals you set for yourself. Although it's easily done, I don't think it's good to measure your success based on other peoples' percpetion or definition of it if it doesn't work for you.
Sometimes the goal can be as simple as making sure you have something proper to eat in the morning or leaving the house 5 minutes earlier to get to work on time.
With longer term goals the success is in progressing through the stepping stones or barriers that you will face in order to reach the bigger goals. Determination plays a big part too. Even when it seems tougher to reach the bigger goals you will get back up with determination that the success will continue GURANTEED.
It's also important to acknowledge the success you are making. At least if you get to work on time that's one less contact you have to make for the day with you wonderful boss .

| Success means stamping over everyone who gets in your way, getting credit for what someone else has done, ass-licking, lying, cheating and having the mantra 'the ends justify the means'.
