There were a handful of things that led to a path in life that allowed a person to become successful in their own distinct definition. They prioritized personal fulfillment over society’s definition of success.

They knew what made them tick and what motivated them from a very individual perspective. It proves that there’s something to knowing who you are and then finding the right fit.
