Meeting or surpassing an intended goal or objective

For other uses, see [Success (disambiguation)](/wiki/Success_(disambiguation) "Success (disambiguation)").

[![](//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Fighting_smallpox_in_Niger%2C_1969.jpg/220px-Fighting_smallpox_in_Niger%2C_1969.jpg)](/wiki/File:Fighting_smallpox_in_Niger,_1969.jpg) A [Nigerian](/wiki/Niger "Niger") man receives the [smallpox vaccine](/wiki/Smallpox_vaccine "Smallpox vaccine") in February 1969, as part of a global program that [successfully eradicated the disease](/wiki/Smallpox#Eradication "Smallpox") from the human population.

**Success** is the state or condition of meeting a [defined](/wiki/Definition "Definition") range of [expectations](/wiki/Expectation_(epistemic) "Expectation (epistemic)"). It may be viewed as the opposite of [failure](/wiki/Failure "Failure"). The criteria for success depend on context, and may be relative to a particular observer or belief system. One person might consider a success what another person considers a failure, particularly in cases of direct [competition](/wiki/Competition "Competition") or a [zero-sum game](/wiki/Zero_sum "Zero sum"). Similarly, the degree of success or failure in a situation may be differently viewed by distinct observers or participants, such that a situation that one considers to be a success, another might consider to be a failure, a qualified success or a neutral situation. For example, a film that is a commercial failure or even a [box-office bomb](/wiki/Box-office_bomb "Box-office bomb") can go on to receive a [cult following](/wiki/Cult_following "Cult following"), with the initial lack of commercial success even lending a cachet of subcultural [coolness](/wiki/Cool_(aesthetic) "Cool (aesthetic)").[\[1\]](#cite_note-1)[\[2\]](#cite_note-2)

It may also be difficult or impossible to ascertain whether a situation meets criteria for success or failure due to ambiguous or ill-defined definition of those criteria. Finding useful and effective criteria, or [heuristics](/wiki/Heuristic "Heuristic"), to judge the failure or success of a situation may itself be a significant task.

## In American culture

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Success&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: In American culture")\]

DeVitis and Rich link the success to the notion of the [American Dream](/wiki/American_Dream "American Dream"). They observe that "\[t\]he ideal of success is found in the American Dream which is probably the most potent ideology in American life"[\[3\]](#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDeVitisRich19964-3) and suggest that "Americans generally believe in achievement, success, and [materialism](/wiki/Economic_materialism "Economic materialism")."[\[4\]](#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDeVitisRich19965-4) Weiss, in his study of success in the American psyche, compares the American view of success with [Max Weber](/wiki/Max_Weber "Max Weber")'s concept of the [Protestant work ethic](/wiki/Protestant_work_ethic "Protestant work ethic").[\[5\]](#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWeiss196917-5)

## In biology

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Success&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: In biology")\]

[Natural selection](/wiki/Natural_selection "Natural selection") is the variation in successful survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in [phenotype](/wiki/Phenotype "Phenotype"). It is a key mechanism of [evolution](/wiki/Evolution "Evolution"), the change in the [heritable](/wiki/Heredity "Heredity") [traits](/wiki/Phenotypic_trait "Phenotypic trait") characteristic of a [population](/wiki/Population "Population") over generations. [Charles Darwin](/wiki/Charles_Darwin "Charles Darwin") popularized the term "natural selection", contrasting it with [artificial selection](/wiki/Selective_breeding "Selective breeding"), which in his view is intentional, whereas natural selection is not. As Darwin phrased it in 1859, natural selection is the "principle by which each slight variation \[of a trait\], if useful, is preserved".[\[6\]](#cite_note-6) The concept was simple but powerful: individuals best adapted to their environments are more likely to survive and reproduce. As long as there is some variation between them and that variation is [heritable](/wiki/Heritability "Heritability"), there will be an inevitable selection of individuals with the most advantageous variations. If the variations are heritable, then differential [reproductive success](/wiki/Reproductive_success "Reproductive success") leads to a progressive evolution of particular [populations](/wiki/Population "Population") of a species, and populations that evolve to be sufficiently different eventually become different species.[\[7\]](#cite_note-7)[\[8\]](#cite_note-8)

## In education

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Success&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: In education")\]

A student's success within an educational system is often expressed by way of [grading](/wiki/Grading_in_education "Grading in education"). Grades may be given as numbers, letters or other symbols. By the year 1884, [Mount Holyoke College](/wiki/Mount_Holyoke_College "Mount Holyoke College") was evaluating students' performance on a 100-point or [percentage](/wiki/Percentage "Percentage") scale and then summarizing those numerical grades by assigning letter grades to numerical ranges. Mount Holyoke assigned letter grades _A_ through _E,_ with _E_ indicating lower than 75% performance. The _A_– _E_ system spread to [Harvard University](/wiki/Harvard_University "Harvard University") by 1890. In 1898, Mount Holyoke adjusted the grading system, adding an _F_ grade for failing (and adjusting the ranges corresponding to the other letters). The practice of letter grades spread more broadly in the first decades of the 20th century. By the 1930s, the letter _E_ was dropped from the system, for unclear reasons.[\[9\]](#cite_note-9)

Educational systems themselves can be evaluated on how successfully they impart knowledge and skills. For example, the [Programme for International Student Assessment](/wiki/Programme_for_International_Student_Assessment "Programme for International Student Assessment") (PISA) is a worldwide study by the [Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development](/wiki/Organisation_for_Economic_Co-operation_and_Development "Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development") (OECD) intended to evaluate educational systems by measuring 15-year-old school pupils' scholastic performance on mathematics, science, and reading.[\[10\]](#cite_note-10) It was first performed in 2000 and then repeated every three years.

[Carol Dweck](/wiki/Carol_Dweck "Carol Dweck"), a [Stanford University](/wiki/Stanford_University "Stanford University") psychologist, primarily researches motivation, personality, and development as related to [implicit theories of intelligence](/wiki/Implicit_theories_of_intelligence "Implicit theories of intelligence"), her key contribution to education the 2006 book _[Mindset: The New Psychology of Success](/wiki/Mindset:_The_New_Psychology_of_Success "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success")._ Dweck's work presents mindset as on a continuum between fixed mindset (intelligence is static) and growth mindset (intelligence can be developed). Growth mindset is a learning focus that embraces challenge and supports persistence in the face of setbacks. As a result of growth mindset, individuals have a greater sense of free will and are more likely to continue working toward their idea of success despite setbacks.

## In business and leadership

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Success&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: In business and leadership")\]

[Malcolm Gladwell](/wiki/Malcolm_Gladwell "Malcolm Gladwell")'s 2008 book _[Outliers: The Story of Success](/wiki/Outliers_(book) "Outliers (book)")_ suggests that the notion of the [self-made man](/wiki/Self-made_man "Self-made man") is a myth. Gladwell argues that the success of entrepreneurs such as [Bill Gates](/wiki/Bill_Gates "Bill Gates") is due to their circumstances, as opposed to their inborn talent.[\[11\]](#cite_note-11)[\[12\]](#cite_note-12)

[Andrew Likierman](/wiki/Andrew_Likierman "Andrew Likierman"), former Dean of [London Business School](/wiki/London_Business_School "London Business School"),[\[13\]](#cite_note-13) argues that success is a relative rather than an absolute term: success needs to be measured against stated objectives and against the achievements of relevant peers: he suggests [Jeff Bezos](/wiki/Jeff_Bezos "Jeff Bezos") ( [Amazon](/wiki/Amazon_(company) "Amazon (company)")) and [Jack Ma](/wiki/Jack_Ma "Jack Ma") ( [Alibaba](/wiki/Alibaba_Group "Alibaba Group")) have been successful in business "because at the time they started there were many companies aspiring to the dominance these two have achieved".[\[14\]](#cite_note-14) Likierman puts forward four propositions regarding company success and its measurement.[\[15\]](#cite_note-15)

1. There is no single definition of "a successful company" and no single measure of "company success"
2. Profit and share value cannot be taken directly as measures of company success and require careful interpretation
3. Judgement is required when interpreting past and present performance
4. "Company success" reflects an interpretation of key factors: it is not a "fact".[\[16\]](#cite_note-16)

## In philosophy of science

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Success&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: In philosophy of science")\]

[![](//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cd/Cmbr.svg/300px-Cmbr.svg.png)](/wiki/File:Cmbr.svg) Graph of cosmic microwave background spectrum measured by the FIRAS instrument on the [COBE](/wiki/Cosmic_Background_Explorer "Cosmic Background Explorer"), the most precisely measured [black body](/wiki/Black_body "Black body") spectrum in nature.[\[17\]](#cite_note-dpf99-17) The [error bars](/wiki/Standard_error_of_estimation "Standard error of estimation") are too small to be seen even in an enlarged image, and it is impossible to distinguish the observed data from the theoretical curve.

[Scientific theories](/wiki/Scientific_theory "Scientific theory") are often deemed successful when they make predictions that are confirmed by experiment. For example, calculations regarding the [Big Bang](/wiki/Big_Bang "Big Bang") predicted the [cosmic microwave background](/wiki/Cosmic_microwave_background "Cosmic microwave background") and the relative abundances of chemical elements in deep space (see [Big Bang nucleosynthesis](/wiki/Big_Bang_nucleosynthesis "Big Bang nucleosynthesis")), and observations have borne out these predictions. Scientific theories can also achieve success more indirectly, by suggesting other ideas that turn out correct. For example, [Johannes Kepler](/wiki/Johannes_Kepler "Johannes Kepler") conceived a model of the [Solar System](/wiki/Solar_System "Solar System") based on the [Platonic solids](/wiki/Platonic_solid "Platonic solid"). Although this idea was itself incorrect, it motivated him to pursue the work that led to the discoveries now known as [Kepler's laws](/wiki/Kepler%27s_laws_of_planetary_motion "Kepler's laws of planetary motion"), which were pivotal in the development of [astronomy](/wiki/Astronomy "Astronomy") and [physics](/wiki/Physics "Physics").[\[18\]](#cite_note-18)

## In probability

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Success&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: In probability")\]

The fields of [probability](/wiki/Probability "Probability") and [statistics](/wiki/Statistics "Statistics") often study situations where events are labeled as "successes" or "failures". For example, a [Bernoulli trial](/wiki/Bernoulli_trial "Bernoulli trial") is a random [experiment](/wiki/Experiment_(probability_theory) "Experiment (probability theory)") with exactly two possible [outcomes](/wiki/Outcome_(probability) "Outcome (probability)"), "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted.[\[19\]](#cite_note-19) The concept is named after [Jacob Bernoulli](/wiki/Jacob_Bernoulli "Jacob Bernoulli"), a 17th-century Swiss mathematician, who analyzed them in his _[Ars Conjectandi](/wiki/Ars_Conjectandi "Ars Conjectandi")_ (1713).[\[20\]](#cite_note-20) The term "success" in this sense consists in the result meeting specified conditions, not in any moral judgement. For example, the experiment could be the act of rolling a single [die](/wiki/Dice "Dice"), with the result of rolling a six being declared a "success" and all other outcomes grouped together under the designation "failure". Assuming a fair die, the [probability of success](/wiki/Probability_of_success "Probability of success") would then be 1/6{\\displaystyle 1/6}![{\displaystyle 1/6}](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/365dd517702686649e6644a66665efd1a32be3ae).

## Dissatisfaction with success

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Success&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section: Dissatisfaction with success")\]

Although fame and success are widely sought by many people, successful people are often displeased by their status. Overall, there is a general correlation between success and unhappiness. A study done in 2008 notes that CEOs are depressed at more than double the rate of the public at large, suggesting that this is not a phenomenon exclusive to celebrities.[\[21\]](#cite_note-21) Research suggests that people tend to focus more on objective success (ie: status, wealth, reputation) as benchmarks for success, rather than subjective success (ie: self-worth, relationships, moral introspection), and as a result become disillusioned with the success they do have.[\[22\]](#cite_note-22) Celebrities in particular face specific circumstances that cause them to be displeased by their success.\[ _[citation needed](/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")_\]
