In almost every aspect and point in life, people tend to measure their success and achievements most times to evaluate if goals have been achieved or if effort was worthwhile or to analyse amount of additional work and time needed to achieve the said goals. In this enquiry, several techniques, yardsticks and approaches have been developed and incorporated over time. However the continuous search for an ideal measurement scale/relation/method goes forward to prove that we haven't found that ideal yet. I however have come to measure 'relative success of association' by levels of external and internal pressure to achieve and it's corresponding praise level. I came to this weird method of measuring by association since every single knowledge, idea, fact or understanding we have emanates from external influence or deductions based on same. That is an article for another day but because I have brought you to start considering the truth behind that statement goes a long way
