It depends how you define success yourself. In your view, is success measured by money or knowledge, skills, emotions, actions or memories? You can be a successful researcher, but earn pennies. You can be a skilled artist, but hardly sell anything. It depends what makes you happy. If creating art or researching an interesting field drives you towards success, then money becomes irrelevant in the long run. On the other hand, money does provide you with freedom if you haven't found your passion in life. It provides you with the ability to travel, explore the world, meet new people and make new experiences. But this won't necessarily mean that you're successful. 

However in commercial sense, money = success, so it all depends from what your perspective is on this issue. 

Today me and my pupils went to a kindergarden [nursery]. It is a kindergarden for children who have health problems. We were asked to help to paint some colourful and funny things in the yard. It was great. The weather was nice [too]. We listened to music, talked and painted. Then we were invited to drink tea and eat sandwiches. It was all colourful but pleasant. I hope my pupils enjoyed it too.

Myths and heroes, Route 66 (part2)

III) Today, Route 66, linked to the American identity
-Nowadays, the road is more of a tourist place rather than used to cross the USA. For example singers such as Elvis Presley, [iconic] diners like [... give an example maybe?] and Chevrolets, form a timeless image of the road. Nevertheless this image of Route 66 isn't the reality, but a part of the American dream.

-Route 66 represents the idea of liberty and independence, and the Americans recognise themselves in it.

-Since the beginning of the 20th century, generations of Americans have followed the road. It became famous in novels, songs and films.  Which is why this road forms [an important] part of the American identity.

Conclusion:
-To conclude, we can see that Route 66 became a myth thanks to writers, songs, movies. It can be considered as a myth because its history is linked to the American culture.
-Finally, I think that even if myths often derive from the reality, this reality is greatly transformed throughout time. However, these myths are very useful to create a common identity between people.
