To me: 
To be successful is to be healthy, wealthy and loved. 
To enjoy the ability to make a difference in someone's life.
To be happy for others success.  
To do something that over last one’s life time. 
To be able to simply enjoy every little detail of the gift of life.
To be able to taste the food not just feed oneself. 
To be able to live not simply exist. 
To be remembered in hearts of others not just on a stone. 
What does success in life means to you?

An article in the March 2008 HRMagazine shared some interesting research about employee motivation and its link to brain function.  It said that if a manager shows interest in employees, supports them, and praises them genuinely, the manager is essentially "squirting" serotonin into the employee's brain.  Serotonin is the chemical that makes us feel good.  It opens our minds to new ideas and creates a desire to support others. Serotonin leads to enhanced levels of motivation. 

Likewise, a manager can inadvertently "squirt" the chemical cortisol into an employee's brain by treating the employee unfairly or by diminishing the efforts of the employee.  In turn, the cortisol leads the employee to shut down any willingness to help or to be open to new ideas. It's a demotivator. 

Interesting stuff, huh?
