Why does it exist? What societal role does it serve, and what advantage does it give us over other species?

Why did we invent the idea of success? In asking this question you assume that we actually
did invent it. So I pose further questions to you:
Why do you think we invented the idea of success?
Can you be
sure that it universally exists?
Do you know what it is?
And if so, in asking what advantages it gives you assume that it
does bring advantages. Why do you think this?
