FAVORITE QUOTE OR SAYING, WHY?

“Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.” – Albert Einstein

It is great to be successful, but it is better to have a positive impact. Success without value is meaningless. Anyone can be successful or aspire to be successful, but the scruples one possesses breaks the barrier of subjectivity. Success can be fleeting and fickle but value can last a lifetime.
