How Do You Define Success?
As we leave behind 2015 and look forward to the New Year, please take a moment to reflect on your definition of success.
“What Constitutes Success”
He has achieved success who has lived well,
laughed often and loved much;
who has gained the respect of intelligent men
and the love of little children;
who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
who has left the world better than he found it,
whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
who has never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty
or failed to express it;
who has always looked for the best in others
and given them the best he had;
whose life was an inspiration;
whose memory a benediction.
—Bessie Stanley (1905) (No it wasn’t Ralph Waldo Emerson, contrary to popular belief)

Ken Tasch, Somewhat of a philosopher outlook of the meaning of success and accomplishments and what a person is. Truly thoughts from the Western world, hardly the reality of the world. When it truly comes to practicing the principles of the philosophy, how many people are willing to do so?
Thomas, Very True. Unfortunately these days we can make other people successful, but we will not necessarily become prosperous.
Ike, In reality you are very correct.
