You cannot give what you do not have. Those who understate the significance of success are either deceiving themselves or have abandoned their quest for it. You must understand that success is an important aspect of everyone's life, despite differences in culture, religion, financial status, social status and race. Most people would concur that success is critical and crucial to the wellbeing of every individual, be it in the aspect of their career, academics, investment, finance, business, family. Success is not the destination or the end goal, but a journey. The principles of success should not be treated as something that is not of importance. Nothing gives more confidence, happiness, fulfillment, and security like a successful life. The ability to contribute positively to your society or the environment is traceable to success. Also, success is contagious. When you are successful, those around you will naturally strive to be like you. They might unknowingly start adopting habits of yours that would lead them to achieving the same results you did. You have to be successful to aid in the development of your society. No nation can be termed developed if its people are not living comfortably. Success, no matter how small, is as important as life itself. Thanks @khalid119
