Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.

~~ Booker T. Washington

 

Booker T. Washington overcame a lot of obstacles to be successful.  According to Wikipedia:

"Booker T. Washington (April 5, 1856 – November 14, 1915) was an African-American educator, author, orator, and adviser to presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African-American community."

He was born into slavery and lived during a time that was tough for a black man, even if he was free.  He had to overcome many obstacles to survive much less be successful. But he became successful.

Most of will not know the obstacles that Booker T. Washington had to overcome. We will complain about a few inconveniences on our road to success. It is best that we all remember what Booker T. Washington said:

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.

If you have overcome your own obstacles or those thrown at you by others, then you can count yourself a success.  

Go out today and overcome the obstacles put in your path, whether by you or others.
