Inspirational Quote:
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” – Steve Jobs

The Big Idea (with Story):
Howard Schultz didn’t grow up rich. But when he visited Milan and saw Italian espresso bars, he defined success differently: not just selling coffee, but creating a “third place” between work and home. That vision birthed Starbucks.

If Schultz had let culture define success, he would have just been another businessman selling beans. Instead, he redefined it—and redefined the world’s coffee culture.

If you don’t define success, society will sell you its version: likes, cars, fame. That’s not success—that’s slavery to culture. True greatness requires living by your definition, not their deception.

Greatness Takeaways:

• Undefined success breeds distraction.
  Without clarity, you’ll chase everything and catch nothing.
• Culture sells illusions.
  If you don’t define your win, society will trick you into theirs.
• Self-defined success creates focus.
  Clarity filters out noise.
