How do you define “success”? Referencing Handbook, what relation does perseverance have to success?

Success to me is accomplishing what you want to do, to be or to have. Success continues to occur in the process of getting to where you want to be. Everybody sets a long term goal that they eventually want to get, but in between there's little goals that people would need to succeed in, in order to get closer to their big dream. Success can be big or small, whether if it's related to school, relationships, duties, dreams, etc. There is always something a person can achieve in, even if it's not what they had in mind or does not know that they've achieved it. A person who perseveres is willing to do what it takes to get them to where they want to be. They put their hard work and their all to accomplish what they want and stay on their path to reach their goal. No matter what the obstacles are, a person is able to handle the problems that will come forth and go through their successes when in the process of accomplishing something or being successful. No one will give up in trying to get to where they want to be. That is what Rosie Perez did. Although she has gone through so many difficulties and challenges in her life, that did not stop her from doing what she wanted to do and being successful. It took her some time to achieve her goals and to make her life a whole new change, but she did not give up. She persevered, fought, did, accomplished and became successful in her life. She can truly say that she is a successful person and that she overcame all of her troubles and darkness and found the light to her success.
