“When we think of failure, failure will be ours. If we remain undecided, nothing will ever change. All we need to do is to want to achieve something great, and then simply to do it. Never think of failure, for what we think will come about.”
–Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

What’s true success? What’s real, authentic, fulfilling success? Is it achievement? Is it made of goals, efficiency, and deadlines? Is it the kind that says, “The level of one’s success is measured by the depth of one’s wallet”? I’ve asked myself that deeply intriguing question for many years.

In fact, I used to be a go-getting, goal-setting, efficiency-minded, try-to-get-as-many-things-done-as-possible type of person; the type that never seems to have enough time for anything.

I thought about creating a frequently asked questions (FAQ) page. But I wanted a brain-dead easy solution to be able to do this in a snap (much like posting to this blog), and offer more to my readers.

But also, I wanted one that would optimize my page for the search engines (where specific keywords are included in the titles and questions), and be easy enough for me to simply answer questions as I go along.

Finally, I found one…

Some people have asked me quite a few questions in the comments section of my last article, “How to Write Carrot-Wielding Copy.” And some of these questions were immensely valuable.

I could have answered them within the comments section. But because I believe my answers might be helpful to a lot of people, and that the comments may be overlooked by many, instead I decided to do in a separate post.

Here it is:
