Success Kid, originally titled 'I Hate Sandcastles,' features a young boy named Sammy Griner clutching a handful of sand with a look of intense determination. Taken by his mother Laney Griner in 2007, the photo initially circulated on Flickr before evolving into one of the internet's most wholesome and enduring symbols of triumph. While the original caption implied the child had just destroyed a sandcastle, the internet pivoted to using it as a celebration of life's 'small wins,' such as finding money in old clothes or finishing a task ahead of schedule. The meme's massive popularity even helped the family raise funds for Sammy's father's kidney transplant, solidifying its status as a legendary piece of web culture.
