The tenth commandment is the key to happiness, which is the key to success.
Actually the key to success is knowing what the objective is and acting accordingly. Many people pick the wrong end-goals, things they will never reach, so by their terms they will never be what they consider successful.

Actually I remember reading something that completely changed my focus on success. The point was basically that we usually consider results when determining success but sometimes it was better to measure our success in terms of faithfully follwing the actions we committed to i.e. if I successfully follow the oreo diet (totally made up ridiculous idea) and eat nothing but oreos and don't lose any weight despite my compliance with the diet, then it's just possible that I shouldn't consider myself a weight loss failure but I should consider myself to have successfully followed the diet, but the diet fails to produce the desired results. In such case I can avoid viewing myself negatively (after all I succeeded in doing what I said I'd do) while acknowledging that things aren't working the way I thought they would.
