"Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value."
The best definition I have come of success is: "Success is the completion of anything intended." In other words success is finishing what you planned to do.
The above definition of success shines a light on failure and success. Make a plan and follow it and you will have succeeded. Make a plan and do not follow it and you will have failed.
This gives a yard stick for judging every day of our lives. We can say at the end of the day "I have failed" or "I have succeeded."
This may seem very obvious but it is amazing that only about 85% of the human race end up doing what they intended.
I asked several people what they thought success was. One person said that "Success is making loads of money." Another said that success is "Achieving your goals".
Some one else said that success is "Fulfilling your potential". An interesting answer was that success is "Making others jealous".
"The biggest secret of success in life is: You don't have to get it right; you just have to get it going. Perfectionism can kill success.
We never get going because we are always waiting to get everything just right. Instead, let's get going."
