As the sibling rivalry thread started to drift off topic I thought I'd start another which may also drift off topic. Basically I want you to define in a few words what success is and what it means to you personally.
Some people may attach the word success only with money or power. Others may define it as living in a free country or being able to sleep in till lunch time. How is it for you?
I think success is achieving your personal aims. I've achieved none of mine.

Way to cheer us all up, Ben! Although you're only a whipper-snapper, there's plenty of time for you yet. Unlike poor Tuumble, who's f**ked from five different angles.
I'm not bothered by status and money. I like looking after others and having others to look after me. 
If I had that all my life and felt relatively happy, I's feel my life was a success.
Not f**king up too much.

Yeah, that, I think.
Being in a position to make all of the people who've ever slighted you suffer.

You're right. There's still time for me to become the pop star I so crave to be.

One of my aims was to have zooo agree with something I say!

Success: an event that accomplishes its intended purpose.
So relating to human terms, surely it's to procreate... leave something behind once we're gone.
For myself, leaving this world, and being remembered would be a great sucess. Not sure how I will be well known... but hopefully I will.
Success would be crushing Flash Gordon and regaining War Rocket Ajax.
Though currently I'd settle for a permanent job with a bit more money, a mortgage and a national broadcast credit.
That or a giant camp robot army
Currently it dispoints to be Sootyj.
Success is the satisfaction of a job done well done.
