讲座简介：
Everyone wants to be successful, yet many are living lives of fear and frustration. What is success? How do you define it? How do you know if you are successful? Society often has given a view of success that not only is incorrect, but leads to frustration and brings nothing but fear of the future.
What can you do to make sure the pressures of chasing the “success syndrome” do not effect you? Is there a way to live your life free from the worries and pressures that plague society? These, and other questions will be discussed in the lecture and you will leave with the knowledge and confidence needed to be successful.
