As a former biologist undergrad or a normal person?
Biological definition of success is passing on your DNA to the next generation. Even if it is only ~50% from each parent in the case of species like Homo sapiens.
"Normal person" definition of success in my case, getting up in the morning. Dusting myself off and trying again. That and trying to be social and not make a mess of it.
Other than that being successful is relative. For me, as long as I can complete a goal I set for myself in a reasonable amount of time, I feel successful.
