What is Success?

I don't blog much about Success, because I feel that so much advice on how to be successfuly is equivalent to brainwashing you into believing that poverty is admirable. If Success was so great, then why would someone offer you a "Success" program for purchase?

Advice such as "Get to the office an hour earlier every day" and "Stay at the office after your boss leaves" will make you a great employee, but probably not successful. (Unless you desire to be an overworked employee without a family or personal life).

Richard St. John has pragmatic advice on Success that resonates with me, and so here is a video clip from TED.
