People may ask how’ you define success. This is more difficult. Success is relative; not everybody wants to put together a four-billion-dollar company, or become President of the United States, or win the Nobel Peace Prize. It is usually a mistake to begin with such great ambitions, which tend to sink into lazy daydreams. The best way to succeed is to begin with a reasonably realistic goal and attain it, rather than aiming at something so far beyond your reach that you are bound to fail. It’s also important to make a habit of succeeding, and the easiest way to start is to succeed in something, however small, every day, gradually increasing the level of your ambitions and achievements like a runner in training, who begins with short distances and works up to Olympic levels. Try to think of success as a journey, an adventure, not a specific destination. Your goal may change during the course of that journey, and your original ambitions may be replaced by different, larger ones. Success will certainly bring you the material things you want, and a good, healthy appetite for the comforts and luxuries of life is an excellent road to success, but basically you will know you have reached your goal when you have gone that one step further, in wealth, fame or achievement, than you ever dreamed was possible. A lot depends on your profession, of course. There is a great deal of difference between setting out to become a success in a millionaire family and trying to become vice president of a bank, but the differences simply consist of contrasting social customs and of what is the appropriate way to get ahead in a given profession or business. Whether you’re hoping to take over a number’s game or an executive desk, you have to make the right moves for your circumstances. In the former example, you might have to kill someone; in the latter, you might only have to find ways of making your rivals look foolish or inefficient. In either case, you have to accept the rules of the game and play to win, or find some other games. What advice would the author most probably give us in order to develop our sense of success
