How do you define success?
Determine if your model of success is based on checking off your to-do list or embraces the bigger picture. Discuss your definition of success. Be sure to tie your answer to the performance level you plan to bring to this position and what you strive to achieve in this role.
"I define success through my ability to reach the goals set out for me. On a personal level, these goals are the things I wish to achieve in my life. On a work level, they are the targets set out for me and the professional development I seek."
"For me, success is achieved when I can be proud of what I have accomplished in the day and the attitude I kept while meeting those accomplishments."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Success means having a clear understanding of my responsibilities and goals and putting forth the effort and focus to achieve those goals. My goal for this internship is to learn as much as I can while making a positive contribution in any way I can if I am given the opportunity.

You've provided a solid definition of success, but you can make your answer even stronger by relating a past achievement that showcases how you put your definition of success into action before explaining how you see future success playing out. This will make your answer more compelling and memorable.
