success
Aim finally reached
Success is the state of having achieved a goal (The team’s success last weekend means they will move on to the playoffs), or the attainment of that which is normally viewed as desirable, such as fame, wealth, or high social standing: His mansion was evidence of the tycoon’s success.
Success is the opposite of failure in most contexts.
