Success is a personal and private experience. My success is not your success and yours may not be same as mine. Money, fame, popularity, material possessions are some of the reward for being successful and are not success in themselves. Hence you can be a wealthy failure. Success is not about what you have, its about what you feel. A Fulani herdsman somewhere in Nigeria may be rejoicing and excited about nursing a sick cow through a season of protracted sickness and eventually this cow comes out of it and starts to produce so much milk and birthing very healthy calf. This Fulani man may not have a beautiful house, lovely clothes, a diamond wrist watch, fleet of cars and investments all around the world; yet he feels very happy, fulfilled and accomplished with his life as its nomadic. On the other hand an oil magnet with billions in local and foreign accounts; houses all over the major cities of the world, best of material possessions and private jets with many powerful highly placed friends may be extremely depressed and even result to substance abuse just to feel high and happy occasionally. Such a one may even be contemplating suicide. There is an emptiness; a void that the money, fame, friends and power can never fill. Success is not in material possessions, its in knowing your purpose and fulfilling it. One Love Brotherhood!!!!
