What is success?

There are many definitions of a more operational for the topic at hand, the success is the ability to achieve a stable, conscious and in good coexistence with the world.

It is important to know that when we talk about this success is not only material but also with the goals of any kind in any case refers to the victory achieved a transcendent purpose in everyone's life, something you want and proposed, and that has value primarily to the person who succeeds. In a successful company like ours are often confused success with fame, or any other situation where public exposure as a premium only desirable outcome: this is a big mistake, because success is for each individual piping different depending on your wishes. Is so successful a famous singer whose goal was to be a massive artist, as a mother whose goal is to raise their children well in that task and puts all his effort and his love.

Why it says "cool"?

Popularize in the eighties and nineties, cool became a wildcard word to mean one thing or one person were amusing, amazing, fantastic and attractive.
Recently, word has been added to a certain burden to include it in the pejorative term "Go for cool," is said about who is or who falsely claims to money and fame.

But cool is a very old word that originally meant the Interjection ay. Thus, it had meaning of regret or threat: Guay Me!, Instead of Woe to me!; Guay or if you leave me!, Instead Woe to you if I leave!

Its use is already reflected in texts of the Middle Ages and can find the word without any effort at La Celestina (1499), by Francisco de Rojas.
Guay purchased the current meaning in the twentieth century to coincide phonetically with English voice gay (Funny, brilliant).
