The Measure of Success

Since success means different things to different people, we can conclude that success is very personal. So, we can’t really measure another’s success. And people can’t measure your success either, or tell you whether you are successful. However, you can measure your own success. How do you do that then? What yardstick should one use?

Here are some references for you, should you be interested to measure your success. Bear in mind that they are still somebody else’s yardsticks. You might be perfectly happy with your own measure of success.
