The definition of success he quotes has nothing to do with money: to laugh often, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to leave the world slightly better, and to know one life breathed easier because you lived. He puts that at the centre and everything else arranges itself around it.

The rest gathers famous failures and uses them properly rather than sprinkling them as decoration. A physicist who did not speak until four and was thought slow. A basketball player cut from a school team who counts his missed shots out loud. Two brothers fighting depression and illness before they built anything at all.

One post insists on the difference between hoping and deciding, and it is the shortest and sharpest thing in the set.

Thirteen posts, including one practical piece on setting up an autoresponder.

Read the one about defining success before any of the others, because it changes what the rest are for.
