Its interesting to me that he mentioned that

success is the opposite of failure. It made me
question why people are so afraid to fail.

Social status, gained fame, attaining wealth: If

this is what success is being portrayed as
then what are our young people expecting
form them selves and if they cant reach that
goal then what are they thinking about
themselves?

My proposition about not being able to find a

true short definition to what success Is was
right.

Aim, objective, planned goal: all of these

words tell me that in order to be successful or
for something to be a success that there
needs to be prior thought and intentionality
into what someone is looking to do.

Once again the author is mentioning that you

cant even fail without having some sort of
goal or objective. Therefore we need to get
people to be asking what there objectives are
in life.

accomplishment can be seen as the process

to becoming successful.
The accomplishments are the steps to
becoming successful therefore success can
be on a small scale and a large scale. Such
as success in life, or success on a project.
