Greetings friend @chbartist! depending on your publication, and as human beings we tend to do things for a reward, for the medal of the first place, and to achieve this we must have an audience.

We develop the sense of success when we are achieving achievements in the public, for this reason we forget the most important public; oneself

If we direct our actions to generate a constant improvement, whether we have public or not, we will be living to constant success.

Happy day.
