Defining Success in Old Man and the Sea and Uncle Tom’s Cabin
What do people mean when they say that someone is successful? How does one gauge success? It all depends on who you ask. The official definition of success is "the fact of getting or achieving wealth, respect, or fame; the correct or desired result of an attempt" ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "URL" : "-webster.com/dictionary/success", "accessed" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2015", "3", "7" ] ] }, "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Merriam-Webster Dictionary", "given" : "", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "container-title" : "Encyclopedia Britannica", "id" : "ITEM-1", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2015" ] ] }, "title" : "Success", "type" : "webpage" }, "uris" : [ "/documents/?uuid=fe5bb129-6544-4312-ae48-cc7da849775a" ] } ], "mendeley" : { "formattedCitation" : "(Merriam-Webster Dictionary)", "plainTextFormattedCitation" : "(Merriam-Webster Dictionary)", "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(Merriam-Webster Dictionary)" }, "properties" : { "noteIndex" : 0 }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" }(Merriam-Webster Dictionary). My parents would probably agree, and would even expound the meaning to include securing a good future for the family, of ensuring that that one has a roof over his head, food on the table, and money in the bank. This is no wonder as survival is always the top priority. Of course, why would anyone wish to go after "life purpose" when he or she is hungry? How can a homeless person think about the deeper meaning of life when he or she is shivering in the cold? But new studies ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Tugend", "given" : "Alina", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "container-title" : "New York Times", "id" : "ITEM-1", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2013", "6", "14" ] ] }, "title" : "A Call for a Movement to Redefine the Successful Life", "type" : "article-newspaper" }, "uris" : [ "/documents/?uuid=d5867095-3814-4223-a75a-0c25e8e17155" ] }, { "id" : "ITEM-2", "itemData" : { "URL" : "http://news.vanderbilt.edu/2014/11/gifted-men-and-women-define-success-differently-40-year-study-says/", "accessed" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2015", "3", "4" ] ] }, "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Brasher", "given" : "Joan", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "container-title" : "Vanderbuilt University", "id" : "ITEM-2", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2014" ] ] }, "title" : "Gifted men and women define success differently, 40-year study says", "type" : "webpage" }, "uris" : [ "/documents/?uuid=75caae3e-bb9c-4b4c-baf4-2e2ede230e04" ] } ], "mendeley" : { "formattedCitation" : "(Tugend; Brasher)", "plainTextFormattedCitation" : "(Tugend; Brasher)", "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(Tugend; Brasher)" }, "properties" : { "noteIndex" : 0 }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" }(Tugend; Brasher) show the need to ...
