Success is very relative and very momentous…for someone the success is 1000 for someone its 100000 and for someone its w/ no limit. Sometimes its momentous and sometimes it lasts only for the moment. It depends on when you get it and how you had aimed for it. If you get it after the time you had decided for, it looses its relevance. If you get it along with the unasked for complimentary gifts it may loose its shine and sheen totally.
I will give you an example, I got the letter of first clearance a great moment of joy and along with that the officer broke the news that the next step may be daggered as we may need Defense Clearance, which means the project is jeoperdised as it would take 1-2 years for clearance so the project looses its viability. Moment of joy turns into moment of worry and stress!
Wow..thats called as relative success!
