I don't really know how "success" is measured in one's life. But I agree that in every step of the process of the achievement of life it should be celebrated. Yes, looking just for the result of the process makes one's work laborious and dissuade him to persevere. Success has its own phases or stages that everyone should give focus to it. Success is related to the so-called "law of capacity". Many times we want to have things in our lives which in our own selves are not ready to handle it. Thus we cannot have it. For me, success is the sound states of the mind, emotion, and the will.
