Many of us think that in order for us to be significant, we have to accomplis something great that makes us famous. In reality, many famous people have never accomplished significance, and converesely, some significant people are unknown outside the walls of their home or organization.
If you are feeling unsuccessful or insignificant, be encouraged to know that your goal in life should not be to pursue what the world says is important, but to be what God says is valuable. I think our job is to press toward the goal of God's purpose for us and to leave the rest to Him.

There is nothing wrong with success in life if such success always has a kind heart towards those with feeble knees. The best success is the one that happens within the four walls of your home.

some people believe that crap - in order to be significant, one has to be successful. when there are people who are assisted by unknown people that only want to help and serve, where are those who are famous? when there are people who pursue despite the hardships, where are those who belong to a successful family?
i believe that if one can make even the tiniest deed for a worthy cause, then he is significant to a person or a small group of people. significance is not defined by success.

I think for me it's success. We shouldn't be confused with these two words cuz they have a lot of differences. Significance for me means you've done something big and success means you've reached a certain goal you've set upon yourself.
