My definition of "auspicious"

Mr. Webster defines auspicious as promising success. But the funny thing is that everybody's definition of "success" differs. It's like everybody's definition of "love" or everybody's definition of "happiness". Granted we all have the capability of having these emotions, but the extent to which we have them is rarely the same in two people. With this said, I would like to give you my definition of success:

• Success is being able to recognize you have a rotten apple but focusing on the fact that the whole bunch is not rotten
• Success is setting a goal for yourself and not meeting it, but exceeding it
• Success is being open to things that are not normally "you" and giving it a chance for the diversity that it brings to your life
• Success is admitting you made a mistake but not dwelling on the mistake made, instead on the path to correct that mistake
• Success is being able to come to terms with the fact that not everybody thinks like you and embracing those different trains of thought as variance and not ignorance
• Success is not feeling you have to fit into the norm to be accepted
• Success is being asked to write a paragraph and coming up with a novel
• Success is the ability to admit you are the bigger man in the situation and taking the conflict head-on
• Success is simply being yourself

Well, those are simply my definitions of what success is. I think that in this crazy world we live in, where we focus more on what we don't have than what we do have, we must stick to our beliefs and emphasize them upon our lives instead of emphasizing society's belief. Success is not material, nor is it physical, nor is it societal. Success is whatever we define it to be.
