Compare at least two definitions of 'success' discussed in these videos, and describe how and why you think these definitions seem to 'work' for the people whos use them

          The two videos that I found the most intriguing were the videos called “The most inspiring thing ever said....” and “How MBA product manager measures success - Ramsey Pryor.” I found both of these videos extremely fascinating because they both defined their idea of "success" in under a minute, while all of the other videos spent much longer trying to explain their own definition of "success." To define such a broad term as “success” in less than a minute seems narrow minded to me in one sense or another, but in both of these videos their own ideas of "success" seems to work out just perfectly for each person.
          In the first video Michael Scott asks Dwight what is the most inspiring thing he has ever said to him and in return Dwight tells him "Don't be an idiot." In the context for this idea of "success," Dwight would assume he is successful if he does everything that an idiot would not do. While in the second video the idea of "success" for Ramsey Pryor, "success" would be defined as a good sales report and a marketable product. The way he finds out if the product is successful or not is if his sales team tells him the product is selling well and/or with the marketing data of the product. These two ideas of "success" are completely different from one another. Dwight sees "success" as merely not being an idiot, while Ramsey sees "success" as a financial gain or if it is desirable to society. In looking at these two definitions of "success," it would be a lot simpler to be able to meet Dwight's idea of "success” rather than Ramsey's idea of “success.”
          In Dwight's definition of “success” the level one would have to work at to achieve his idea of "success" is so low that it would not be hard for someone to achieve his definition of
“success." I do not watch The Office regularly, but I do watch it enough to know that Dwight does not meet his goal of "success." Dwight is seen as an idiot not only to the viewers, but also to the other characters in the show. Although everyone around Dwight and the people at home watching the show know he is an idiot, Dwight himself is unaware of this fact. Therefore in Dwight’s mind his is in fact meeting his goal which means that in his terms of “success” he is successful. Due to the fact Dwight cannot see his own idiot actions makes his definition of “success” work for himself which is all that he needs. As long as you see yourself as successful it really does not matter what everyone else around you seems to think about your own “success.”
         I believe that Ramsey's idea of "success" seems to work for him based on the video. Since his idea of "success" is having a financial gain and having a marketable product, it makes it easy for the international product manager to meet his goal. Since he is being interviewed for this show, he is an international product manager, and it seems that his opinion on the topic of “success” was taken seriously I would assume as the viewer that he has had a successful life in the market he is in. In his idea of “success” as long as his product is selling in a way where he gains profit and society is buying the product he sees himself as successful. With "success" being something as simple as making money, it is easy in the business of being a product manager because your only goal is to make money.
