"Do not judge me by my success. Judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again." - Nelson Mandela

Success is fleeting, an illusion that ebbs and flows on fickle fortune as much as on skill and dedication. Don’t be fooled by a “ladder of success” only to find at the top it was leaning against the wrong wall. The skill and resilience, courage and strategy to create new plans; strength of heart and muscle it takes to “fall down many times,” and resist defeat, is a far better measure of self worth. Ultimate success is not what we earn but who we become.
