How to Define Personal or Organizational Success

Michelle Obama is often quoted to have said: “Success isn’t about how much money you make, it’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.”?

This is quite a powerful quote with, I find, a very deep meaning.

And this approach is both applicable to individuals and to organisations.

The foremost aspect is that what is important is to make difference in other peoples’ lives and not just in one’s own. Making this difference can be direct but also indirect for example through setting an example or an inspiration for others to follow.

An truly, at the end of the day, that’s what is important in one’s life.
