Success has different dimensions, it's up to you which one you adopt.

"Success comes to the person who does today
what you were thinking about doing tomorrow."

This is a quote that describes what I meant by success. It's not about winning always but to stand up for your convictions. The person in an air-conditioned office will not be able to define the meaning of thirst. Go out and ask the person who bore the killing sunrays of a desert. If one wants to taste success, he needs to work hard & hard & hard, as said by Shah Rukh Khan (the great Bollywood personality), so that he/she can think ahead of the race. There is a famous dialog "Jahan duniya sochna band karti hai, vahan se main sochna chalu karta hun." (Where people stop thinking, my process begins). One needs to first think what his competitors think and then plan ahead and execute at the right time. Time is also important here. When reporters asked Mohammad Ali, the famous legend of boxing, what is the reason for your success, he replied, "daily, I practice for two hours. Them I am tired. I think of my competitor that what he would be doing right now. He must be practising. This gives me will power and I practise again for two hours." Even if he does not win some matches, he leave a mark in the heart of his contender. And that is where lies the difference between winning and success. In the end, I just want to repeat the words of Steve Jobs:

"Let's make a dent in the universe."
