  Success requires talents, abilities, interpersonal skills, and professional knowledge or skills or both. Most of these can be learned. Use the related lenses to advance your knowledge and skills. Below you will also find other resources (not my own lenses) that I recommend to you to complete your success training.

Success 

Ralph Waldo Emerson

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
