It's not so much what you accomplish. But what's more important is how far you've come to accomplish what you have. Success is the measure of not mere achievement, but also how hard one had to work.

About This Quote

If we measure success by accomplishment, we should be proud of whatever we accomplished. However, that has not been the case for most people. The road to success is paved with hard work and extra effort. There are many cases where someone has achieved great success by doing nothing more than putting in the time and effort to do something. Many other people who had the same opportunities and did the same amount of work did not succeed because they failed to put in the extra effort.
