Great taste of success

What is your definition of success?

 

I. Lead in

In today’s society, some people define success in terms of the amount on their paycheck. For others, it is the title on their business card, or the amount of awards they have won.

  

 

Success has just as many faces as any other theme, depending on the society in which it is measured, and the values of the person who measures it.

How do we succeed? How do we become successful?
