Hey @pathtosuccess! Great first post.
Success is indeed a tricky thing to pin down. It really changes from person to person as well.
I've always felt that success is helping others while helping yourself. So I learn about different subjects and write posts. I think by doing that I help others and here on Steemit I also benefit. I've also found the top characteristic for success here, and I just wrote a post about it.
Looking forward to more of what you got to tell me - I love to learn. :D
thank you @getonthetrain for your kind words and comments. Wasn't it Zig Ziglar who said that when you help others get what they need you will get what you need? Sharing with others tends to be reciprocal.
