Success or failure depends on your attitude, value system, and expectation.
If we define success as getting within 1km of the sun alive, then we will all experience failure. However, if we define success as the ability to make ourselves and others happier, wiser, more hopeful, then it is achievable all the time.
If you think that failure = not meeting a standard or expectation, then you will encounter many failures in life because the outcome of your actions are not totally determined by you.
On the other hand, if you see not meeting a standard or expectation as an opportunity for you to do better next time, then you have just gained SUCCESS because you know more now than before. Therefore, every action you take can bring you success in terms of new awareness, new wisdom.
You can then extend your success by being kind and helpful to other people.
God does not waste time judging us, so why should we waste time judging our every act? When we have not done right, then just admit the fault, learn the lesson and move on. God continues to give us new chances to do better.

Be more by doing less. Change your name from 沒出息的么子 to 出息的么子 and you will become someone worthy of that name.箴言 22:11 美名勝過大財.恩寵強如金銀。 A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.
