3 - What is Succcess?

Everyone want and talk about success. What is success anyway? Everyone tend to see it their own way and some even compare it with others. Lets see what success really is...

Earl Nightingale's famous motto: "Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal." That's a process definition which I live by.

Andrew Carnegie told Napoleon Hill that "Success is the power to get whatever one desires in life, without violating the rights of others."

John Maxwell is right when he says that "Success is not a destination, but rather a journey." Maxwell has this to offer:

Success is . . .
knowing your purpose in life,
growing to reach your maximum potential,
and sowing seeds that benefit others.

We are born with a default path, but that path can be change if we so want it...
Definition: [Default]: An option that is selected automatically unless an alternative is specified

> Life is a journey, enjoy the ride...

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Earl Nightingale

Don’t let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.

We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we’ve established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.

The key that unlocks energy is “Desire.” It’s also the key to a long and interesting life. If we expect to create any drive, any real force within ourselves, we have to get excited.

The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else. Job security is gone. The driving force of a career must come from the individual. Remember, jobs are owned by the company; you own your career!

Your life is controlled by your thoughts. Your thoughts are controlled by your goals.

Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal.

Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude towards us.
