The real metric of success isn't the size of your bank account. It's the number of lives in whom you might be able to make a positive difference.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Success is not about how much money we have in the bank, but it's about how many peoples' lives we have impacted through it. Success is experienced when we do things which are never done before.
Just because my bank account hasn't swelled astronomically I don't consider myself any less of a success.
Too many people measure how successful they are by how much money they make or the people that they associate with. In my opinion, true success should be measured by how happy you are.
With a group of bankers I always had the feeling that success was measured by the extent one gave nothing away.
Money is often a matter of chance or good fortune and is not the mark of a successful life. It is not the thing that brings a throb of pleasure or a thrill into my life. And I would not pose as a successful man if that were to be the measure.
Monetary success is not success. Career success is not success. Life, someone that loves you, giving to others, doing something that makes you feel complete and full. That is success. And it isn't dependent on anyone else.
Success isn't about being the biggest. It's about letting the right size find you.
I think the measure of your success to a certain extent will be the amount of things written about you that aren't true.
It's a common misconception that money is every entrepreneur's metric for success. It's not, and nor should it be.
Success isn't measured by money or power or social rank. Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace.
