Thought for the day...
How we define success is important in shaping our lives. So, how should we define success? Success is defined in terms of achievement, fame, recognition, material possessions, and wealth. In a word: outcome.
Significance, on the other hand, while less tangible, concerns the process.
Significance is importance, meaning, essense, relevance, and value. Success drives us by a desire for tangible things; significance guides us by a desire for something greater than just what is tangible.

i've got a post-it note stuck in my work cubicle where i copied this down(forget from where)with a similar thought: Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
