Viktor Frankl's Advice
Story★★★★In Man’s Search for Meaning, Nazi death camp survivor Viktor E. Frankl writes, “Don’t aim at success—the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one’s personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself.”
The point
Viktor Frankl advises not to pursue success directly; success comes as a byproduct of dedication to a cause greater than oneself or surrender to another.
