How to Succeed

Success is an odd thing. Often we strive to find it, but when we reach the point for which we were striving we don't feel successful. That's the constant lure of success - it is alway just out of reach.

In some ways this is a good thing - we keep striving to be better and to do more. We keep working hard throughout a career rather than resting on our laurels. But it can be a bad thing if we are under the illusion that success is something that we can grasp.

The truth is that you won't ever be successful. You won't be the best at your job. You won't completely master your field. It's the journey that's the thing. Strive, every day. Work hard all the time. Enjoy the process and let success worry about itself.
