Success
is so much more than fame and money - At times we all
try to attach a monetary value to the definition of
success. We look at those around us (or those in the
news) and say, "he or she is successful." The
problem is if we're basing success simply on the amount
of money or fame that a person has attained, we're missing
the big picture.
Surely
fame and fortune can go along with a person who has
reached success in their lives, but we have to remember
that it is only a subset of success (not the total package
and not required). Wouldn't you agree that someone who
doesn't have the million dollar bank account or a star
on Hollywood Boulevard can be just as equally successful?
Think
about the teacher, parent or mentor who, because of
the time they spent with you, changed your life. If
you ask me these are the unsung heroes that deserve
the label of "success."
Please
don't get me wrong here. I totally agree that Hollywood
and the business world can be slap full of people we
can look to as examples of what we can achieve with
enough effort. I also happen to believe that it's worth
realizing that you too in your own way are just as successful!...
