You are an exception. I could not define what is a success for a Shankaracharya.

The only person that can answer the question above is you. I am neither able nor willing to prescribe the ultimate definition of success, as this is not possible. Every person is thinking differently about being prosperous in life and is defining success in another way, so there can’t exist a definition that is suitable for all.

There is a generally accepted norm for mortals, and there is a different standard for Sadhu's etc.
Here I am talking in terms of worldly achievements that can be measured.

Financial success, material success, etc. The very reason for which the parents migrated to the USA.
If spiritual well-being was the goal, there was no need for the migration.
