Real success.

In this world, famous people may often be vain, petty, worshipped,
attention seeking, amoral, power seeking, jealous, domineering,
venal, and corrupt. This is often great fodder for the tabloid
newspapers, internet
and television, this is part of life on the planet. Many of these attributes
may be within ourselves, perhaps we do not have the circumstances
to act them out. Too much money may be an obstacle to real growth;
too much fame, too much attention, too many acheivements, although
good from the point of view of success in life, may at the end be
seen to be what they actually
are, completely worthless in real terms. The unremarkable man who is
quietly present to his life, and masters himself is a real success from the
viewpoint of our work.
