"No moral system can truly function while someone stands to gain from its failure."
Gareth Hussey, 22, Marketer
The world strives for success. It is important to be seen as "successful." We assimilate success with happiness.
But, when we die, how will we be remembered? Will it be because of our great "success." Bill Gates of Microsoft is a successful person. One-thousand years from now wil he, or his company, and the artifacts it created by cherished and remembered?
It is not success that makes a moment in history. It is significance!
It is not how successful someone has been that we remember for any length of time, it is how significant he was in altering the people and ideas of a time.
As a test of significance, if you were to die today, what sort of book about you would they write? Or wouldn't they write books? What sort of story then? If not a story, what sort of obituary paragraph? If not a paragraph, then what sort of sentence for your tombstone? If not a sentence, then what sort of kind words? If no kind words, then how will you ever be remembered as being on this planet?
To gain anything, you need to strive for significance, not success.

"The All-Knowing Physician hath His finger on the pulse of mankind. He perceiveth the disease, and prescribeth, in His unerring wisdom, the remedy. Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration. The remedy the world needeth in its present-day afflictions can never be the same as that which a subsequent age may require. Be anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and centre your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements." -- from Baha'u'llah
