There is no question that struggle is a more important measure of success than accomplishment. The person who struggles up from abject poverty to attain a comfortable middle-class existence shows much more strength of character than the guy born into wealth and privilege.

Setting a goal and reaching it is admirable. Setting the bar high and scaling it is even more so. But either way once you reach your goal you havfe to start reaching for the next goal. This is another area where the strugglers have an advantage over those who are easily pleased with their accomplishments.

It has been said that life is a journey and not a destination. The same can be said about success.
