Answering this question in a self-affirming, positive and
empowering way might mean recalibrating your metrics or changing
what qualities you ascribe to success.
Another way that having an internal measure of success is useful
is in a more directly competitive setting. If you are a classical
pianist with a major competition coming up, you might prepare for
weeks or even months, practicing and rehearsing. If you take
first place, that is wonderful. But even if you do not, is there
a way that you can see the success in your accomplishment?
Perhaps it was enough to have made it as far as you did, perhaps
your performance was still noteworthy to many people, and maybe
you inspired a younger pianist in the audience to pursue her
dream of becoming a concert pianist.

This is Elizabeth Gaskell's first novel, a widely acclaimed work
based on the actual murder, in 1831, of a progressive mill owner.
It follows Mary Barton, daughter of a man implicated in the
murder, through her adolescence, when she suffers the advances of
the mill owner, and later through love and marriage. Set in
Manchester, between 1837-42, it paints a powerful and moving
picture of working-class life in Victorian England.

Two gangs from opposite sides of the street. One romance that
dared to cross the line. In 1961, this movie adaptation of the
Broadway smash-hit musical West Side Story broke box office
records and won an incredible 10 Academy Awards, more than any
other musical before or since. On the streets of New York City,
two gangs (the Sharks and the Jets) battle for territory and
respect. But when Tony, the leader of the Jets, falls in love
with Maria, the sister of Sharks leader Bernardo, a chain of
events is set in motion that will tear their worlds apart
forever. Featuring music from Leonard Bernstein and Stephen
Sondheim, and songs like “America,” “Somewhere,” and “Tonight,”
this timeless story of star crossed lovers and rival gangs races
to a shattering climax you will never forget.
