The True Meaning of Success (Inspirational Quotes)

30 Happy Days Challenge - Day 11: your favorite quote, that inspires you up.

I like so many quotes!

I will be honest, there are times when I want to give up so I sometimes look at quotes to remind me that I should keep going. One of the quotes that kind of inspires me is this one:

"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time" - Thomas A. Edison (inventor)

Obviously when we do give up on something we do not succeed in that. We tend to give up on our dreams so quickly. Throughout life, we are told that we can do this, but we can't do that. We quickly accept the fact that we can't do some things without even trying. The sky is not the limit. We forget that there are things beyond the sky...

Failure can help us achieve success. It can help us learn from our past mistakes. If we keep trying we will achieve our goals. "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work" - Thomas Edison

Throughout my life, I have been told, "Never give up. Finish school so you can become successful in making money in your future career." 

I think that many people tend to misinterpret the true definition of success (I used to misinterpret it). Success is not always about making money. It's what you do in society that counts the most. I think you do not have to be rich to be successful. You can succeed in life by being a compassionate, kind, and loving person. Money is not permanent, but things like love and kindness are.
