And we think we know just what it means: money, status, fame, and power.

But take a look in the dictionary and things start to look, thankfully, a lot more complicated.

しかし、辞書を調べて見ると、それはそれ以上複雑なものです。

Because success is, in truth, rather more neutral and less value-laden than we tend to assume.

実に、成功の定義は、我々が思うよりも、より中立で客観的なものなのです。

It just means doing anything well, excelling at something, and that might encompass a lot of different activities.

成功とは何かをうまくやること、何かに優れていることを意味します。それはさまざまなことを含みます：

Running 100 meters, for sure, selling your app for a lot of money, okay.

100メートルを走る、もちろんこれも成功です。アプリを売ってたくさんのお金を儲ける、これもそうです。しかし、あまり話されないような小さい事、よく子供のことをまじめに聞いたり、見知らぬ人に親切を示したり、面白いアイデアや連想能力持ったり、誰かが困った時に、慰めてあげれる。

But also stranger, less-heralded things like listening a lot, very attentively, to a child,

or being extremely kind to strangers, or filling your mind with interesting ideas and associations,

or knowing just when to put an arm around someone when it's too much for them.

People who triumph here are also big success stories.

これらの領域に長けている人も大成功の一つです。

No one can be successful at everything, whatever they tell us, it's almost impossible to succeed with a career and with a family,

すべての領域に成功するものはいません。何を言ようとも、

or with popularity and integrity, there are always sacrifices.

It's great to be successful.

仕事と家族両方とも成功することはほとんど不可能です。

It's even better to make sure you followed your own distinctive and, not necessarily, always obvious path to the success that can truly fulfill you.

名声と正直は両立できないのです。
