Don't get too hung up on this question. Remember, this is how YOU define success not how you think the interviewer would. If success to you is simply making a difference in people's lives every day, then own it. Don't feel that this answer is about what monetary award you need to win in order to be successful.

"The ability to empower people to better themselves and see a positive outcome is my definition of success. The fact that I've been able to not bring potential work stress home with me has been a success on its own."
