Simply Successful Secrets
Jim at I’m forty-what? tagged me on the idea of Simply Successful Secrets or in other words:
“What little secrets do I have that have helped me to be successful?”
I am supposed to come up with 5 or 10 little gems, but there is probably one thing for me that overshadows everything else so I will offer only that (I know, a bit of a cop out).
Any success that I feel that I have had has evenutuated after I learned a very simple truth. My measure of success had to be something that was unique to me. Something that was real to me rather than what society, family, friends and the world at large considered to be necessary to be a “success”.
For years I ran on the corporate treadmill, sometimes at a flat out sprint. The rewards were substantial. I was successful according to many definitions. Plenty of money, plenty of long lunches to celebrate having plenty of money and plenty of prestige and status. Oh yeh, a signigicant dose of misery to go along with it (can you hear the violins playing).
Anyway, enough of that. My advice for what it is worth - to be a success, be true to yourself and don’t measure yourself by anyone else’s yardstick.
So I think I am supposed to call on some others to share their thoughts. How about it:

- Steli
