Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value
-Albert Einstein
Success is temporary and value remains permanent throughout history and will be regarded it as a fundamental principal. History has many artists who remain as one of the most significant artists of their periods. Leonardo da Vinci is considered one of the greatest and most regarded renaissance painter of all time and he regularly sought his thoughts and solitude. Many painters adopted his painting style and over time his value to the success of the renaissance period is widely regarded. While his scientific findings were substantial discoveries and considered successful, were not published therefore were of little value to the future of science. Thus, value over time can gain more significance than that of success alone.
We live in a world where getting things done or acting busy is rewarded.
