"A conventional â€˜successâ€™ story is one where, with each next, the protagonist has more money, more respect, and more possessions. Iâ€™d like to suggest an alternative â€˜successâ€™ story â€“ one where, with each next, the protagonist is closer to finding that spot where heâ€™s no longer held back by his heart, and he explodes with talent, and his character blossoms, and the gift he has to offer the world is apparent."

-- Po Bronson
