Real success is based on our efforts and not just on worldly achievements.
@WeEarth I don't understand that statement. "worldly achievements" are the only tangible, objective measure of success...any other declared measure is subjective &, therefore, not quite real.
@slowdecline48
Yes, I got that!
Its just my thoughts. I meant, that the real success not relies on just the winner tag, our best efforts also define the success. Yes, winning is a part of success, to some extent but not entirely depends on it. My friends may agree or may not. I can understand that and I respect others perspective. What about you slow, Proper definition of success according to you??
My answer was aligned to my first response to your initial post here. I still think tangible accomplishments are a good yardstick for success in general, even if that is not a complete answer.* If you're asking how do I define success for my life?... Until recently I had a ready answer to that question, Earth. Now, I'm not entirely sure anymore.
*Admittedly, real goods & worldly accomplishments are not the be-all & end-all. If you are a multimillionaire & your personal life is a mess, that is a hollow kind of success, maybe even dubious success. A few years ago I read an article by a woman who'd been a cleaner for wealthy people's houses...the things she found & described could make you feel sorry for some of her former clients, even with all their money & fancy possessions.

Take risks in your life. If you win you can lead! If you lose, you can guide!
One of my preferred quotes is " when you lose, don't lose the lesson". It's from the Dalai Lama. So, there's always something to learn when someone fail. our job is to discover what is it exactly and improve it the next time until we become a pro.
@Nanoune
so powerful and so easy to remember too (my favorite type of quotes!) - thank you for sharing this!
@Nanoune I dig that credo.
It's worth hand lettering.
One of my most beloved poems is from Max Ehrmann called
Desiderata
This poem has always spoken volumes straight to my heart. It holds so many truths and so much wisdom.
I heard this yesterday and it really struck a chord in me:
I don't know where my next path is, but I'm going to keep walking until I find it.
I hope someone out there finds it as inspirational as I do.
