Daniel considers success as his work having a positive impact on others. He wants what ever he does in life to change someones life for the better. This definition is a lot different from other definitions I have looked at. All of the others equate happiness with success but this blog doesn't even mention it. In a way he mentions happiness but it's focused on the happiness of others. If his work positively impacts someone they should be happier.
He brings up a couple of great examples. Bill Gates and the late Steve Jobs first started their companies hoping to come out with the newest technology that will change the world. I think I can safely say that for the most part their products have both shaped the world for the better. I'm sure they welcomed all the money that came from their products but as Steve Jobs said, he wanted to make a "dent in the universe."
He also brings up a good point on why looking at success as money and power isn't a good way to look at it. A drug deal can have a lot of money and a lot of power and some people would look at him as successful if their view of success was money. But because his "product" negatively affects people in life he can't be considered successful.
With college coming up quick and our jobs and careers after that, it is a good idea to have a grasp on what you think is success. For some, money and power might be success. Or maybe just being happy is success. Or just having a positive impact on others in life. What is your ideal definition of success?http://usqedu.wordpress.com/tag/success/
