Success is not defined by prestige, power, prosperity, position, or pleasure, but rather by making a positive difference in others' lives through significantly helping to change the world. To be truly successful, one must view their work as a calling or vocation focused on giving to others, rather than just a means to an end. Specific ways to achieve this view of work include committing to be your best, focusing on caring for people over things, keeping learning, looking for opportunities to serve others, and developing the right habits through desire, knowledge, and skills.
