Success is the skill, focus and self-management required to make a series of good decisions, day after day, as opposed to making a series of bad decisions.
Seems like a no-brainer, but there is a strong tendency to overestimate the required scope of these decisions – better to focus on the next immediate moment and do the best you can in that – do that for a long enough period of time and you will be successful at what you strive to achieve.
