​​Success


​​


In the United States and perhaps in many other countries around the world, it is unfortunate that the concept of success is measured mainly upon monetary value. A person can use, cheat, deceive and take advantage of others but if he or she is worth millions they are considered successful and sometimes even admired. Not to say that many people have not gained their wealth skillfully and honestly, but I see success in people who are happy, have achieved emotional and mental balance, make an honest living, do what they can for the good of all and have avoided the many pitfalls that increasingly dot the pathway of living.
