“What is success?
To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate the beauty;
to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded!â€
My primary purpose in Life is to make the world a better place, One Human interaction at a time, Sharing loving-kindness, empathy and compassion brings me great rewards, A smile is sometimes all that is needed.
1 å¹´Martin Gillespie I have recently adopted the attitide that success is subject to individual interpretation It is not what , as is often seeen here on LinkedIn, someone else's defintion of success to be obtained through their "method". Usually involves the acquisition of things looked on a status symbols such as you list. To me success is a calm and serene state of mind and a desire to help others. The base line of Maslows Heirarchy is all I really need. I have I believe achieved the pinnacle #selfactualization ??
Getting your health pension resolved for functional health when you retire.
1 å¹´Success is being functionally healthy to intergrate with the ones that you love when you are a grandparent/old and not requiring assistance to be cleaned after the bathroom.
