Most so-called success in the world is slavery.

Bryant McGill
About This Quote

This quote is a powerful one. It’s a common complaint of the older generation, and for good reason. When you’re young, you think that success is something that can be achieved without having to work at it. This isn’t the case, however.

In order to achieve success, you have to work hard and go out of your way to achieve it. This is what Nelson Mandela was alluding to when he said, “Most so-called success in the world is slavery.” Find your purpose and live your life with purpose.
