I was asked at one of my recent presentations what the definition of success was.

My on the spot answer was that my personal definition has changed as I have aged. Which of course, is true for everyone. So then I wondered how could I put that definition in to words that would be meaningful?

This is what I have come up with.  Let me know what you think.

 

  • At age 4 success is not peeing in your pants
  • At age 12 success is having friends
  • At age 16 success is having a driver’s license
  • At age 20 success is having sex
  • At age 35 success is having money
  • At age 50 success is about how much stuff you have collected
  • At age 60 success is about having sex
  • Age 70 success is about still having a driver’s license
  • Age 75 success is about still having friends
  • At age 80 Success is about not peeing in your pants
