If you see things through the eyes of society, your judgement will follow the collective rationale of society. However, if you want to see things with your own eyes, you will have a subjective perspective on the meaning of success and failure. Personally, a life of righteousness and straightforwardness is success.

It all depends on how one defines success and failure. Think about it: You got hired by a company because you're a highly skilled professional with vast expertise and know-how, and they hired you so you can improve and enhance things. The only problem is, almost as soon as you go in, you find out that you're unable to do the very thing you were hired to do, because - get this - they won't let you! When you try to change things for the better and do things the way they should be done, the very same so-called "boss" who hired you torpedoes your effort and retorts with a pathetic "this has always been the way we do things around here." And if and when you try to fight back and instigate even a modicum of change in an inherently defective system, you get fired a couple of months later for "lack of performance."

So, the question is, who "failed" here? You, or them?
