You are a success in life if your survivors don't have to beg to get six people to carry you out to the cemetary. Yeah, I know, that's why you want to be cremated.

A person usually knows when they have achieved success. Usually middle age but sometimes later in life. It is an awesome experience.

That is how you measure Success. Your own feelings and being aware of what you feel.

It is when my conscience agrees with the time, effect, money and emotions spend on achieving the goal till the end of it... allows me to sleep peacefully at night.
