Are You Successful...?
Filed in archive Philosophy on December 13, 2008
Dan Schawbel over at Personal Branding Blog has an insightful interview online at the moment Romanus Wolter, "the Kick Start Guy." And Wolter makes what I think is a very important point for today's world: you don't get to define success all by yourself.
"A person is successful when they realize that they can actually never attain success as defined by themselves," Wolter told Dan Schawbel. "Other people can be amazed by their achievements - but since we are human, once we reach a specific goal we always seek out our next success."
Wolter says that understanding the idea of success in this light can be very releasing for an individual. It frees people up to explore possibilities without worrying quite so much about results that may (or may not) make them feel successful.
Schawbel's interview with Worter covers a lot more than the bits and pieces I've mentioned here. You should check it out...
