"Not everything that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted." ~ Albert Einstein
I
think one of the biggest misconceptions is the contemporary notion of what
ought be sought, AKA what defines success. Modern success
"measurement systems" only seem to count the tangible, while
neglecting some of what really matters in life - the intangible.
Ultimately
the intangibles of life are as important, if not more than, as the
tangibles. We are well versed in the occupational, world changing visions
of success, but sometimes while we're so caught up in the perfecting prominent
things of life we forget to really live, we forget to love.
In
short, viewing success from a vista of perspectives, and through a plethora
of lenses allows us to identify our strengths whilst revealing the
humbling fact that we all have room for improvement, and
ultimately forces us to balance our endeavors.
Sincerely,
