When someone thinks of success, they usually think of millions of dollars, mansions on islands, Ferraris, model girlfriends, etc.
This is not success thinking because those things are just the "end result" of success. Those things do not define success.
So what is success?
Success is hard work. Success is PAIN, whether psychical or psychological. Whenever you go out and play basketball for 6 hours to learn one shot, that's what success feels like. Whenever you sit in front of a computer for a whole day trying to perfect one paragraph for your book, that's what success feels like. The pain that you go thru to become better at one thing is defined as success. The money, cars, and girls is just the result of success.
So one should not focus on the money if they are trying to be wealthy. What one should learn is how to make the money. How to endure the pain that creates money. It is the same as saying give a man a fish (money) and you will feed him for a day, teach a man to fish (how to make money) and you will feed him for a lifetime.
