When
we talk about success we usually think about things like grades, awards or
people recognizing us. The truth is, real success is not just about what other
people see. It is about how we get it. Think about a student who gets the
grades by cheating or turning in work that is not really theirs. They might
look successful on the outside. Inside they know they did not really earn it.
Success is about doing the thing even when it is hard, even when it is easier to
take a shortcut. We have to make choices to achieve real success. Success, like
this, is what really matters. If you do not have integrity your success is not
going to last.
