Definitions of Success

Gary Davis, president of Davis and Associates Inc. construction: "Career success is measuring your effectiveness against the goals and objectives you've set, and then constantly re-evaluating your skills vs. their demand and your response to the challenges before you. If this 'self-check' is done regularly and realistically, your career success will be ultimately determined by the professional legacy you leave and those who've benefited from your life's work. [r]

I find this definition the most perfect one to capture an idea of success. If it were so that success was a single goal or single achivement then it would have been much easier to attain. But sucess is not an achievement but an ability - both physical & mental. It takes a lot of perserverance to apply the skill & then improve on it.

r: I am afraid I don't have a reference for this.
