10. ‘Success’ a Hollow Victory
When you’re success is based purely on financial it
is a hollow victory.
It doesn’t make sense to a lot of people when you
say “Money isn’t everything.”
You got to hit that target before it makes sense to
you because it’s a hollow victory. It got to have
things behind it.
