I found a fortune cookie in my kitchen just now that I had forgotten was there. I think I had saved it for Tom, but since it was still there... The fortune inside was surprisingly profound, especially for a mass produced dessert.
"Success is being at peace within yourself"
Simple, elegant, and true. Sure, there are plenty of people who would argue that success has to involve wealth and a high-paying job, and maybe for some of those people it does. We all have our own ambitions, our own interests, and our own causes. Maybe what brings peace to one person is having money, whether for whatever they wish to buy or just to keep their family taken care of. Maybe for another person, peace is doing everything in their power to correct an injustice. Nothing is right for everyone. What is success to you?
