Fallacy of Success” (All Good Things‚ 1915) attacks the current perception of success. Chesterton develops his argument through the use of Greek mythology as well as various references to modern selfhelp books and repetition. He writes to abolish the idea that success is purely based upon wealth in order to reshape society’s current perception into one of true success‚ where everything and everyone can be successful. Chesterton writes for an audience of individuals who desire success‚ evidenced

MY DEFINITION OF SUCCESS The definition of success varies from person to person‚ but it can be summed up with this: if you set a goal‚ and‚ through effort on your part‚ you accomplish what you set out to do‚ you are successful. One cannot determine success by how much money one has‚ nor by how many people one surrounds him/herself with‚ but by one’s happiness with where they stand in life.

Fame does not mean Success Being successful doesn’t always mean that fame is involved. Success is a spiritual practice of doing what you love regardless of outcome.

Americans seem to share a relatively concrete idea of what constitutes success throughout society. I have even noticed that some Americans may even voice that they do not share this definition of success‚ but their actions and concerns definitely suggest otherwise. For many Americans‚ success seems to be measured by a combination of factors‚ which include relationships to material objects‚ socioeconomic factors‚ and social class lifestyles. Numerous sociologists have highlighted the excessive rates

“People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.” –Earl Nightingale My Visionary self is usually the driving force of my ambitions for life‚ love‚ success‚ educational goals‚ and so on.
