What Does ‘Success’ Mean to You?
How do you measure success? Money, trophies and folks "cheering you on" are always nice, but there's a better way. Thanks to a former coworker, I have a pretty good "ruler" for measuring mine!

F. Scott Fitzgerald noted that the rich "are different from you and me". Maybe so, but a new study says that wealthy men and women share many of the same habits, childhood experiences, and leadership styles. The study, presented at the American Psychological Association's annual meeting in Washington, D.C., looked at just over 100 people who made $100, 000 or more a year. Jude Miller-Burke, PhD, leader of the study, noted that both men and women understood the special difficulties women have in trying to take on leadership roles in business.
What do you think the term "success" means? Is there a way to measure it? Family? Money? Power? Career? Maybe winning a championship? Hmmm... a former coworker and someone I call a friend gave me a poem years ago as she moved on to a new job. I have kept it at my desk for years as a reminder of what's really important to me. I thought I'd share it with you today.
