A GREAT DEFINITION OF SUCCESS

Success is oftentimes wrongly associated with external gains, such as social standing, a high profile, an influential job title, a trophy that proves one team is better than its opponent, or a car that symbolizes wealth.  But success is actually something more much more personal, reflecting an internal commitment to specific values, characteristics, and beliefs.  Success comes from helping others, from being the best you can be through fair and considerate participation, from a commitment to honesty and integrity, and from giving everything you have to achieving a specific goal.
