THE SUCCESSFUL MAN

Historians attribute it to Booker T Washington
That he is quoted as observing that 
"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has 
Reached or realised in Life, as by the obstacles which he has overcome".
I am thinking that I want to agree with him.
It is never about the wealth or material possessions.
But I wish to add that to me, the success of man
Should be measured by the amount of people he has helped in the life.
The amount or measure of a person's contribution to his society;
The measure of help or assistance he has given to the poor and or underprivileged man;
What he has done to improve the world, and the condition(s) of the world or his community.
Do You get me?
What in your honest innermost opinion is Success?
Before your answer, Consider this question
Why are we here?
