What is the most mature definition of success in the stories of both artists?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Turning one's limit into identity and contribution through devotion
A mature definition of success measures more than external rewards. Evelyn Glennie faced a physical limitation, developed an individual method of sensing sound, and became an accomplished musician who inspires people with disabilities and others alike. Bismillah Khan transformed disciplined riyaz, cultural roots, and devotion to the shehnai into an artistic identity that enriched Indian music. Their success therefore combines self-mastery, meaningful contribution, and inspiration. Option A is correct. B reduces achievement to publicity, C makes it competitive rather than creative, and D confuses comfort with artistic fulfilment.
