Measuring Success Success is a difficult term to define. The “Fallacy of Success” by G.K. Chesterton defines success differently than “The Sweet Smell of ‘Success’ Isn’t All That Sweet” by Laurence Shames.

If I measure success by being honest and moral and that is my purpose in life, there is absolutely no contradiction.
