I believe that anyone can be successful in life, regardless of natural talent or the environment within which we live. This is not based on measuring success by human competitiveness for wealth, possessions, influence, and fame, but adhering to God's standards of truth, justice, humility, service, compassion, forgiveness, and love.
In his book "Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis," Jimmy Carter emphasizes that success is attainable for everyone, independent of their inherent talents or their surroundings. He believes that true success should not be gauged by societal measures of wealth, status, or power. Instead, it should align with a moral framework based on compassion, humility, and forgiveness.
Carter's perspective challenges conventional views on achievement, advocating for a deeper understanding rooted in values that reflect justice and love. This redefinition encourages individuals to pursue a life that contributes positively to society and prioritizes ethical living over material gains.
