I am constantly grappling with the question of what success looks like, so this discussion of defining success in card games makes a lot of sense to me. Is success at cards defined by winning? Or is it defined by spending quality time with they people you're playing with? In other avenues of life the question is a lot more subtle. It's easy to say "success is being with family" or some such thing, but if you're Ludwig Wittgenstein - say - then defining success isn't quite so easy. In education the system defines success for us in terms of grades and rankings, but being successful this way doesn't feel very successful.
