"Society’s external rewards are no measure of true success. True success can be measured only in relation to the goals one sets for oneself."

社会给予的客观奖励并不能衡量真正的成功。真正的成功只能是取决于一个人为他自己设定的目标。

Success should be gauged on a personal base.

1. Society’s external rewards can only be regarded as society’s recognition of one’s contribution to society.

2. For an individual person, a correct attitude is to gauge success in relation to the goals one sets for oneself.

3. Overemphasizing the social criterion of success tends to belittle the worth of an individual.
