How Do You Define Success?

Success Is About The Difference You make

It’s a really interesting statement. I think we can all appreciate the value of making a difference in people’s lives. Certainly, many of us undervalue that part of our lives. However, what’s the balance between making a difference in people’s lives and making money? These quotes are great to read, but they often try to push us to one extreme or another. I think the happiest place is somewhere in the middle. What do you think?

One beautiful part of having a job in healthcare is that everything you do can make a difference in people’s lives. Of course, we have to remember that while we can have an impact for good, we can also have a negative impact if we do our job poorly. It’s still great to work in an industry with so many noble ambitions.
