The idea of "success" can vary across different cultures from "summary" of Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell

Different cultures have their own unique definitions and standards when it comes to success. What one culture may consider as a successful achievement, another culture may view as unimportant or even insignificant. This variation in the perception of success is deeply rooted in the cultural values, beliefs, and norms that shape the way individuals within a society think and behave. For example, in some cultures, success may be measured by individual accomplishments such as wealth, status, or power. These societies value independence, competition, and personal achievement as key indicators of success. On the other hand, in cultures that prioritize collectivism and community well-being, success may be more closely tied to one's ability to contribute to the greater good and maintain harmonious relationships with others. Furthermore, the concept of success can also be influenced by the historical, social, and economic contexts in which a culture exists. In some cultures, success may be equated with overcoming adversity and demonstrating resilience in the face of challenges. In others, success may be associated with maintaining tradition, upholding cultural values, and preserving the heritage of past generations.
  1. Social, and historical factors. By recognizing and respecting the diversity of definitions of success across different cultures, we can gain a deeper understanding of the values and priorities that guide human behavior and motivation. Ultimately, this awareness can help us cultivate greater empathy, tolerance, and appreciation for the rich tapestry of human experiences that exist in our interconnected world.
