neither, the person is defined by how he/she deals with those things.

As much as people dwell on the failures of others, thankfully, we are best remembered for our successes. I will give you one prime example: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work". by Thomas Edison
-
A person defines himself by failure, society success.
-
A person is defined by how the handle their failures and successes. Do they allow themselves to become defeated by failing? Do they become arrogant with each success?
-
A person may be defined by their successes, but in most situations in life, you must have failure to learn how to succeed. Never let anyone tell you that failing is wrong, failure is a part of life, & it's imperative for gaining wisdom.

This is a such an amazing and insightful question that I took it to our Toastmasters' meeting this morning for one of our table topics. Thanks! So many good answers are already posted. Mine is just an "amen" to them." We fail our way to success by always getting up and by learning from what did not work. It is in our choices and beliefs that we succeed. We make the decision and the rest is a mopping upo exercise.

Thomas J Watson, Sr. president at the time of IBM, called a young manager into his office because the fellow had made an error that would cost IBM millions of dollars (when a million really meant a lot). The young man offered to resign, only to be told by Watson, "What?! We just invested millions in educating you, and now you want to leave?" I think the story illustrates the point.

It really depends. There was a line in the 2nd season of House where a guy on death row says something like "you don't know how it feels to have your entire life be about the worst thing you've ever done."
-
good question. i would have to say by both. depending on the severity of the failure or the success they may be remembered by one more than the other but in reality we should be able to define ourselves how we like.

Neither. We are not our failures or our successes. Nor are we our jobs, occupations, etc. I am a divine spirit having a human experience. So are you. Thus we are all defined as spirits and as such, are "equal". Each of us is having a human experience, and each experience, by definition, is different. These experiences do not define us, they are merely experiences our human existence is going through at any given time. I am not defined by my skin color, my gender, my geography, my economic status or anything else. I simply am, adn as I am, so goes my human experience. Think about it. If looking at yourself another way provides you with some degree of comfort, then by all means, adopt your own way of thinking. And believing.
