Ditto on Success = Action, Accomplishment and Sharing the Love (aka- how you got it done). But, also, sharing the trials and tribulations and lessons you faced along the way. When I see others grow and learn, I grow and learn along with them.

Looking back over the quantum leaps made in my brain (started from scratch, I did) over my years at Omidyar, I see the greatest gifts I received were:

  • reading about other people's travels (Andy Carvin) opened up my life to travel;
  • experiencing "strangers" coming together to help others (Mini-Action Network) expanded my life to community;
  • watching new experiments blossom (StopGenocideNow) along with the people who are moved and transform their lives (Gabriel Stauring)inspired me;
  • spreading my own wings and getting wonderful, constructive, kind advice (Sir Marcus Grimes, Lord Peter Rees, etc.) helped me grow and stay motivated;
  • there's more, but you get the idea.

All these things would again be success in my mind, but, leaving out the line noise that befuddled my brain would make it a huge success!
