What Is Success?

How do you define success? We cannot define something until we understand what it is. So what is success?

Success means different things to different people. Albert Schweitzer said this about success....

'Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing you will be successful'.

Many equate success with the level of wealth or fame that someone has achieved. They use the analogy of the more wealth or fame a person has, then the more successful they must be.

Yet there are many wealthy, famous people who have made a mess of their lives and who are totally miserable. Just look at Hollywood!

So are fame and wealth the best way to determine if someone is successful?
