In the book
And if you want the noblest definition ever written, it is the one often laid at Emerson's feet: to laugh often; to win the respect of the intelligent and the affection of children; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived — this is to have succeeded. Aristotle put it more plainly still: success is simply doing the best you can with what you are best at. If you want it as a formula, two old ones have served me: success is purpose plus thought, and the raw materials are time, knowledge, energy, and purchasing power combined. — Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
