To some people, success means wealth; to others, it means good health, position, power, name, fame, happiness or satisfaction.

Success is a progressive realization of a worthy goal – Earl Nightingale.

The word ‘progressive’ here is synonymous with journey (a process). The word ‘realization’ implies experience, while the word ‘worthy’ means meaningful. In other words, success is a journey interspersed with different experiences to attain a meaningful goal.
True success is measured by the satisfaction you get after doing a job well and achieving your objective.

Where is the seed for Success? It is inside us. Some people underestimate themselves and thus fail—they do not realise that the requisites for success are inside them. But the day we discover that, our performance changes. It is like having a million dollars buried in your backyard and not knowing about it. But the moment you find out, your thinking and behaviour will change. In the same way, all we need to do is to get the hidden talents to surface and use them.
