Seems the question is being begged here. You can define "success
oriented" and then discuss whether people fit or don't fit it, or you
can state that people fit it, and discuss what "success oriented" means
to different folks.

Success or goal oriented (they are pretty much the same) is well
defined.

But to do both at the same time is oiling an eel.

Becoming a success at one goal is not goal oriented by any stretch.
Goal/success oriented people are constantly setting new goals. They
reach one and set the next, or set the next before even reaching the
first. They may have a series laid out and just add to it as they
continually succeed at reaching new goals. There is a big difference
between succeeding at something and being success oriented.
