SUCCESS
What is your
definition of success?
Write it down on a
small piece of paper.

LET’S READ THE TRANSCRIPT
In our societies we use “success” a lot, and we think we know just
what it means: money; status; fame; and power. But take a look at the
dictionary and things start to look, thankfully, a lot more complicated
because success is in truth rather more neutral and less value-laden
than we tend to assume.

LET’S READ THE TRANSCRIPT
It just means doing anything well and excelling at something, and
that might encompass a lot of activities. Running a 100 metres, for
sure. Selling your app for a lot of money, OK. But also stranger, less
heralded things like listening a lot very attentively to a child or being
extremely kind to strangers, or filling your mind with interesting
ideas or associations, or knowing just when to put an arm around
someone when it’s just too much for them. People who triumph here
are also big success stories.

LET’S READ THE TRANSCRIPT
No-one can be successful at everything. Whatever, they tell us, it’s
almost impossible to succeed with a career and with family, or with
popularity and integrity. There are always sacrifices. It’s good to be
successful, it’s even better to make sure you’ve followed your own
distinctive and not necessarily always obvious path to the success
that can truly fulfil you.
