The speaker here defines success simply as theability to choose how to spend one's life. Under this definition, peoplewho have the freedom to do whatever they want at any time they choose would presumably bethe most successful ones, while those who have no such freedom would be thebiggest failures. Viewing the definition in this light reveals three serious problems withit.
The chief problem with this definition ofsuccess is that by the definition nearly all people would be regarded as failures.The reason for this is simple. Most people have extremely limited choices in what they cando and when they can do it. In other words, unrestricted freedom of choice is a luxuryonly a few people—perhaps a handful of tyrannical dictators and ultra-wealthyindividuals—can afford.
Secondly, people who have a high degree offreedom in choosing their lifestyle often acquire it through means that wouldnot earn them the accolade of being successful. For example, lottery winners orpeople who inherit a great deal of money may be able to spend their life in any waythey choose, but few people would regard them as successful merely due to theirfinancial fortune.
A third reason this definition of successis unacceptable is that it repudiates some of our basic intuitions about success. Formost people, success is related to achievement. The more you achieve, the more successfulyou are; conversely, the less you achieve the less successful you are. Defining successin terms of freedom of choice ignores this intuition.
In sum, the proposed definition of successis far too limiting, and it belies our intuition about the concept. I think thatmost people would agree with me that success is better defined in terms of the attainmentof goals.
