Success!!

Just 2 days ago, my good friend and also buddy, Ari, send me a text message. He said there are two things that define SUCCESS in life;

" SUCCESS in life: The way you manage when you have nothing and the way you behave when you have everything."

He send me this text message because when I got my dream job contract signed, I send an email to inform him. I want to be a successful person like him and Will, another good friend of mine. Why he?
He is one of top and well known business man in his country (East Europe), and had appeared in the his country media and magazine. Isn't he successful in his career? Maybe to himself, he had another criteria or requirement to call himself SUCCESS. But I as an outsider, I say he is and I wanted to be like him one day. I remember telling him during our last meeting with him, which he gave me a graduation present to Sweden for holiday for achieving 1st Class Hons, I told him one day I want him to look at my back as I had enough of his back facing me. If I cant do that, at least stand side by side with him. :) I still have long way to go..... but never give it up yet :)

I havent fully understand the sentences that he quote to me, I guess is a general term in whatever we do but I know I will figured it out one day as long as I keep working on my career and going after my SUCCESS.
