Success

“The only true measure of success is the ratio between what we might have done and what we might have been on the one hand, and the thing we have made and the things we have made of ourselves on the other.”         -HG Wells

I think this quote is about what we do with the resources and materials we have and how the meaning of success is if we went down this other pathway how our lives would be if we chose different. We might contemplate our steps and choices. We may judge them good or bad but, we’re stuck with that choice. We can chose to acquiesce it or you can work your butt off trying to get something better. That is success. I feel this quote could also be about how there is no for sure way that you will ever find out what could have or might have come from the other choice you could have took. This quote could also been about success and how we shouldn't dwindle on the past but look to the present. Another way you could look at this quote is that a measure on success is not how high you climb but how many obstacles it takes to get there. But in order to get to it, you must first get failure. Then get the will, belief, and want to persist it.
