I felt the author’s definition of success in this article was ironically narrow. His thesis is that your success is determined by how well you do perform at your particular job. He also seemed to have some misplaced angst towards management and salesmen. I do not believe success should be tied to your work, but rather to your relationships and contributions to humanity as a whole.
- RPLong 8y agoI actually intended to write a blog post about having a more expansive concept of success than just career success; but I found that I had so much to say about career success specifically, that I didn't bother to write anything about other aspects of success. I certainly agree with you that success is more than just what happens at work! There are relationships, creative projects, community involvement, and so on. I don't have misplaced angst against managers or salespeople, and I respect people who are good at those things. I simply wanted to call attention to other kinds of success.
