I don't define success by how much money someone makes. I don't define success by how many trophies or plaques or awards someone has. I don't define it by membership in exclusive clubs or the ability to name-drop about someone's famous friends. I don't define it by how many luxury cars or opulent homes someone might own or how many sumptuous vacations they might taken in exotic locales all over the. Celia Rivenbark

I don't define it by how many sumptuous vacations they might taken in exotic locales all over the world. Instead, I define success as being rich enough that you can give more of your time and resources to causes greater than yourself, knowing that your generosity will make the world a better place for all of us.
