Hapiness cant be the metrics all the time. Some times you take a goal or ambition knowingly the pain and suffering involved. For example working for cancer patients. I am sure it will be lot of tough, unhappy and sad moments. But if you had made meaninful difference to few peoples lifes I think that is still successful. It is a corner case thou.
You set your goal. There is no standard. If you meet your goals you are successful.
