What is success?

I was having breakfast yesterday morning with Steve White, a close friend, and we focused on this question. There are obviously many answers depending on the person (or company or organization ) involved. Success has a personal answer for each and every one of us, and the answers vary from day to night. In the future I will write more extensively on this, but there are 4 stagesof success that are usually common to everyone.

1 Happiness & Satsifaction - enjoy your life and work; be productive and challenged
2 Recognition & Achievement - be recognized by others for your role and contributions; achieving goals and levels of success that are menaingful for you
3 Signifiance & Impactfulness - at some stage giving back and helping others rises to the top of your goals; giving back to society and the betterment of society and/or the world
4 Legacy & Lasting Impression - you do touch a lot of people and today there are more ways than ever to capture people and their ideas, humor and personality on tape or video to share with future generations; some focus on leaving a lasting legacy such as a building or funded program
