”Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” – Albert Schweitzer
“There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.” – Peter Drucker
“The secret of success is constancy to purpose.” – Benjamin Disraeli
“There is only one success – to be able to spend your life in your own way.” – Christopher Lasch
“The definition of success:
- To laugh much
- To win respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children
- To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends
- To appreciate beauty
- To find the best in others
- To give one’s self
- To leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition.
- To have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation
- To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived
This is to have succeeded.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Miriam Webster definition:
a : degree or measure of succeeding
b : favorable or desired outcome; also : the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence
So depending on who we ask, success can mean many things. Here at the Success Framework we will focus on the trinity of Wealth, Health, and Happiness. These three dimensions reinforce each other, and if any is missing we might feel that true success has not been achieved.
