Like i mentioned earlier in previous posts,preference will be granted to newbies or steemians with lower reputation...thanks a lot to everyone for participating...the quote for today is:

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. —Albert Einstein

Haha,this awesome quote is by a famous philosopher we all know...the rules are simple,just give your view about this quote as a comment below this post. Good luck to everyone!

Sort:  

It means don't be selfish, help people in need and you will live like A legend for you will be respected and well known.. It is not how you live, it is whose life you change in the wake of yours..

Thanks for considering my entry yesterday.

My thought on today's quote: As Nigerians, we know garri has not been really successfully branded but the value of garri to a student on a hot, sunny afternoon can't be overemphasized. All in all, by adding value, you eventually get to be successful.

My thought on today's quote is that As an individual you have to make a good use of ur self i.e creating a good and true image for your self stop chasing spotlight because Value weighs more than success, As we know a well educated man is better than a Rich Yahoo boy

Wow!!! So deep a quote!

Strive not to be a success but rather to be of value!!!

The contemporary world we live in today is one that is value based. If you are providing enough value for the populace, the rewards are certain to come in.
I am a staunch advocate for Value. It's the bane of success!!!

This quote reminds me of a lot of things in life, it reminds me the essence of life. In this age we are in, the age of tecnology and other things. What young people chase now is money, how to be rich, how to be independent even money is not a yard for measuring success. John C. Maxwell once said

you have achieved the pinnacle of success if you no longer thrive or care for money, compliment or publicity". Adding value to people and to the world at large should be the aim of every human being, this would the world a better place.

So in lay man language(my language really😀) what this quote is saying is that

Improve your self, thrive to be a better person and not the richest person.☺

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. —Albert Einstein

To start with I must commend your consistency and dedication to this giveaway and guess what it's a learning curve for us all..

Not all successful people are valuable, I will make use of two examples to prove this.
Firstly, when Steemit was launched March 2016, the goal wasn't to be successful but to be of value and we can all see the impact that value is having today.

Secondly, your giveaway isn't centered on success but that of value, if you're to focus on success why then are you sharing your money with people, but you realize how important VALUE is and the implication it has.

However, all success without value will crumble in the short run while all value will surely be a success and will forever flourish.

The likes of Albert Einstein, Karl Marx, Adam Smith are all examples of value, am pretty sure Ned Scott will be included sooner than later.

I awarded you with just a little nice flag
Dont mess with @amec again
If not i shall continue flagging all your comments and posts....i advise you to get a better life and stop trying to hack accounts of steemians!
