Success should be pursued slowly and incrementally, as achieving wild success early on might be hard to sustain over time. It is essential not to attach success to one's identity to prevent it from defining who you are. Instead, prioritize roles like being a parent, spouse, friend, or neighbor as your primary identity. By doing so, you ensure that even if your career success diminishes, you will still have a firm grasp on who you are beyond your professional accomplishments.
