Success Is What Satisfies

When we thinking about success. Nobody is setting out to be a failure in life! We all want to be successful in some or other way, but what is success? How do you know if you’ve arrived there, that you have arrived and when you do arrive, will you do arrive, will you feel successful? Will you feel satisfied?

You may know the name Jack Eckerd. He owned one of largest garment manufacturer in China . On one occasion, he was asked how to define success and he replied like this. He was like,” Fist, let me tell you that success is not found in anything you can buy. As my business prospered, I discovered one day that I could drive any can I wanted, I could sail any boat I chose, or go anywhere in the world that interested me. I also found that success is not stuff. Success is what satisfies.”

“Not a lot of people,” he goes on, “get past material things in the search for satisfaction and most of them then get caught in the next trap, which is power. I don’t mean some evil desire. Just the everyday reality is some people direct the activities of others. A first you are busboy, then the manager, maybe someday the owner. And on and on it goes up the ladder until you position in the company gives you a position in the community. So now the mayor seeks your advice and one day the governor seeks your advice and then president calls. At each level, you feel a suge of satisfaction, but it isn’t real. It’s like a narcotic. The more often you take it, the more you need it. The desire is never satisfied.”

Now his garment factory getting bigger and bigger.
