How do you define success?
The perception of success varies from person to person. To me, success is when our works achieve acclaim. A sense of satisfaction at the end of each day is success too. It is when you are satisfied with what you have achieved in your life. Success is not just about how much money you have in your bank account, but also to live life with peace and prosperity.

We shouldn’t waste our time doing something that we hate. We should be realistic and do something new that hasn’t been done by others. By bringing new ideas to the table and questioning the status quo, you’ll constantly be considering how you could improve an experience, product, or service. This allows you to keep growing and can lead to intelligent and forward-thinking decisions in business.
