Earned Success

Earned success involves the ability to create value honestly — not by inheriting a fortune, not by picking up a welfare check. See: Arthur Brooks

In her critique, Miss Mercatoria criticized Elon Musk for his lack of earned success due to his dealings with the CCP, his subsidies from the US government for Tesla, and his inheritance from his parents.

Russian success

When a person or system reports as having successfully completed a task, however, it has not actually been successful.

The backup failures are not being reported as failures. They are a Russian success.

Russian success

When a person or system reports a successful completion of a task which has not actually been completed successfully.

A reflection on the Russian military reporting very minor advances (which were in fact failures) as great successes.

The system is not reporting failed backups as failures. They are Russian successes.

More Successful

I'm MORE SUCCESSFUL that you, Eric.

Hym "I did the same thing you did except my Mangas already have anime adaptations and they are better than yours. And you, might ask 'what do I have to show for it?'and I would say 'You, crying like a bitch.' That and I'm going to have the scalp of a child if I don't get my money soon. So, no. I don't need to shut up or work. What I NEED is a reason not to murder someone's kids over you trying to get away with robbing me... And there isn't one. I'm more successful than you. You are going to live with that or someone is going to live without their kids."

successful landing

Anything you can walk away from

I mean, half of my rocket exploded trying to land it on Mun, and so my kerbals are now stuck there, but they're still alive, so i call that a successful landing.

The plane is wrecked, but everyone survived, so that was a successful landing.
