Success in a vacuum-less cigarette filter on a playground success.
Sometimes I think it's okay to measure success by what you don't do.
For example, I am highly successful at not smoking in playgrounds where children are playing.
I suppose the minor point could be raised that I don't smoke at all. But I like to simply leave focus on the extreme level of competence and self-restraint I display in NOT smoking while children are a few meters away swinging and sliding.
I was in the minority this evening, as three other parents puffed away, gasping between drags enough lung power to yell:
"Hey, stop riding the LITTLE KID SWINGS! You're not a baby, are you? Are you a BABY?!"
Yeah, something else I'm fairly successful at is not yelling at little kids.
