http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/series/TNG/episode/68376.htmlAlthough this episode seems to actually® focus on the definition of life more than the 'measurement of man', your question does seem to focus on a general *living sense more than a gender context.
Perhaps one can be measured by what one chooses (or has fell fated to
) as a "pursuit of happiness" as this saying suggests...
"Never criticize a man until you have walked a mile in his moccasins".
... implying that there is no single measure.
