Define Success Quotes

• I want to define success by redefining it. For me it isn't that solely mythical definition - glamour, allure, power of wealth, and the privilege from care. Any definition of success should be personal because it's so transitory. It's about shaping my own destiny.

• Our male-dominated culture tends to define success in terms of wealth, fame, power, the reaction of others.

• I'm often asked how I define "success." It's an overused term, but I fundamentally view this elusive beast as a combination of two things - achievement and appreciation. One isn't enough:
  
  Achievement without appreciation makes you ambitious but miserable.
  Appreciation without achievement makes you unambitious but happy.
