When asked to define success, Lydie Hakizimana, the chief executive of publishing firm Drakkar Ltd in Rwanda, had this to say, “Being able to do what you love and earn your living out of it is success in progress. In progress because we always feel we still need to accomplish more.”
That got me thinking: The people we think are successful really are not because they do not perceive themselves as successful, so why should we label them successful?
