What is your definition of SUCCESS?For me success means having the power to face my fears of failure. I feel successful if I am satisfied with what I did in the process of reaching my goals.

What is your definition of SUCCESS?Success to me is being able to grow along with others and be happy with your accomplishments. One quote that I would say describes success would be, we shine by lifting others.
