you are a success when you can say that you are with complete honesty, and you can only do that if you truly gave it your all, regardless of the end result. wooden is rite, peace of mind from knowing you did the best you possibly could no matter the given circumstances is true success.

and getting the positive end result is more likely if you concentrate on giving it your best without the thought of the end result, rather than concentrating on the quickest way of getting it, with the end result always on your mind.

I believe success is being happy with what you've accomplished. My success is all based on my determination and hard work, I suppose. Success is what it means to the individual. There cannot be one universal yardstick to measure it. Finance blog, Finance, Economics, Corporate Finance, Personal Finance, Investing and Marketing

JLP, I can’t be sure but as a UCLA student, I’m sure one of his quotes is up somewhere on this campus (probably the Wooden Center?)

“Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.”

Awesome. I’m holding on to this quote.
