Success is having a positive outcome on what you are trying to achieve. Success doesn’t necessarily mean that everything you wanted to happen happened, it could mean that you through your first hurdle. Think about it this way, when doctors and scientists were trying to find an absolute cure for Covid-19, they came up with a vaccine. This vaccine does not cure or prevent Covid, but it should lesson your symptoms if you do catch it. This to me is a success. Before the vaccines, so many people were dying, and now those numbers have dropped drastically.
