Success Failure

They say people fail because they give up when they are so close to success.

But people that succeed tend to seek more success, 
so do they recognise success if they are ever reaching for it? 

I feel I shouldn't give up,
I fear I wont identify success. 

So unfamiliar with success, yet so familiar with not giving up.

What is success?
Maybe it's going despite failure.
