			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines success as favorable or desired outcome ; also : the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence. But recently i found a much better definition of success. I found it in a <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/john_wooden_on_the_difference_between_winning_and_success.html">TED talk</a> by legendary UCLA basketball head coach John Wooden (I highly recommend watching that talk). He says &#8220;Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming. &#8220;. This definition resonates well with me. </p>
<p>It has also made me realize that i am not trying as hard as i should be. I need to hustle a lot more since i have ways to go. But it has also provided me with a new way to measure my progress. I was too caught up in defining success the wrong way (in terms of wealth, fame etc). This definition has helped me focus and has helped remove the distractions of trying to acquire fame or wealth. What i need to do is simple. I have to spend every single day working towards being the best i can be. I need to hustle more there is a lot of work left to be done. </p>
