\u201cI remember somebody saying to me around that time, \u2018What\u2019s the secret of your success?\u2019 I mumbled some trite answer about hard work and being in the right place at the right time\u2026 Since those days I have met many \u2018successful\u2019 men and women and it seems to me that we use the wrong word in describing them. We should not talk of ‘success’ but rather ask, \u2018What is the secret of your achievement?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many of these people have little peace in their lives. Their bodies are cracking up, they have frequent headaches, get ill on holiday and find an increasing irritability in dealing with others.

Put like this, the answer to the question, \u2018What is the secret of your achievement?\u201d\u2019 may be: \u2018I have achieved these things at the cost of my health and by putting things that matter most to me on the back burner for twenty years or so. That\u2019s how I\u2019ve done it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
