Life's success and failures are measured on the scale of norms, values, and cultural preferences. For instance, in cultures with high family values, success is measured by how much an individual has empowered and lifted the family, and how happy they are. In materialistic societies, success is measured as wealth, job title, and material goods. True success is when one is not afraid of failures but find ways to learn from failures and turn them into success.
Personal opinions relating Success and Failure (SF) are often dramatically deviate and deflect from common opinions' metrics. Hence, the answer would depend on who's replying - the one, who's replying about personal SF, or the one, who's describing someone(s) else's SF.
Yet, common opinions are widely varying across countries, cultures, religions, groups of varying aging terms, political systems, educational and intelligence levels, geographic locations, etc.
Therefore, S in SF is next to impossible to discuss in general terms. As far as F in SF is concern, only a failure in a humanitarian sense may be makes sense to outline. The obvious failure is a case where a person is either irresponsible, or non-trusted, or lacking skills and profession, or lying and cheating, or not a family oriented individual, or not reliable in friendship, or a drunker, etc.
Different People Measures Success and Failure by different Visions. Not every one could be Rich like Bill Gates of Microsoft so Average Successful person could have a House with Nice Car Bank Balance And above all Family with wife and Children. Should have happy marriage Family is also a measurement of Success nowadays. Regards

Success and Failure are part of the same concept. Failure is what you have until you manage to reach Success. Success does not come overnight. Success does not happen by itself. Success is not the opposite of failure. Success is the results of a chain of failures. A chain of learnings. A series of ways of how things are not supposed to work.

Reasons for failure in life Indulgence in production, it is not a requirement of spending all time at work is close to achieving success; because spending time in work leads to a lack of focus on the desired goal or assessment of what has been achieved. The weakness of the religious faith, leading the person to despair, frustration, and surrender, and forget the idea that the trials of God tested by the patience of his servant, and that justice and fate is linked to the things that do not know only God Almighty. Defeat yourself before success, some people when they fall once decide to withdraw and not try again.

“Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.” — Denis Waitley
“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” — Napoleon Hill

Failure sharpens the saw of the human will and endows us with determination.
There are no fix parameters to measure success and failure. These parameters vary from person to person. Layman thinking: If you get your goal, you call it your success and if you fail, you call it your failure.
Many wish that successes and failures should be measured by a person’s own self assessment. In reality, we don’t live in a vacuum. Consequently, social and cultural norms determine a person’s success and failure.
يقاس النجاح بمدى قدرتنا على المحافظه عليه وتنميته ويحتسب نجاح أيضا حتى في حالة الإخفاق طالما قادرين على تغيير النتيجة .اما الفشل فنحن نكون فاشلين إذا وقفنا في نفس الحفرة دون تغيير
Success is measured by the extent of our ability to maintain and develop it and success is also calculated even in the case of failure as long as able to change the result. If we fail, we will be failing if we stood in the same hole unchanged
Measurement of success or failure is highly relative. A rich person would consider rapid accumulation of wealth and a constant increase on a monthly basis to be success, if not it would be considered failure at various levels. A scientist or engineer doing research would consider publication of articles or filing of patents as a measure of success. A poor, homeless person would consider being fed during the day and a place to sleep away from the cold at night to be a success.
Failure are the pillar of success & as such for our failure we cannot afford to remain silent but to find a way for our success it is in this line some years back I have expressed my views & opinion regarding failure & success which I submit herewith for your perusal
Failure are the pillars of success .As human being whatever may be our standing ,ups & downs remain the part of our life
& as such we should accept our failures has challenge for our life.
With this for our failures we should not think regarding the failures & also to cry over split milk but we should carefully
find out the reasons for our failure & to carry out our introspection in an impartial manner which may helps to find out
the roots of failures which in turn may turn out our life line under a different vision to toward the progressive
In my opinion I think success and failure are measured based on the reality on the ground. Did the person achieve the same common target. But if you fail or fall seven times, rise on the eight.
