We’ve all been there — scrolling through LinkedIn, seeing people announce their “New Position” or their “Honoured to be included in the Top 30 under 30” lists. It’s easy to begin thinking our worth is tied to the size of our job title or how many people we manage.But the late Ratan Tata gave us a much-needed reality check: “Success is not determined by the position you hold, but by the impact you have on others.”It’s a simple line that turns the script on what it means to actually “make it.” In a culture obsessed with trophies and corner offices, this is an invitation to look at a deeper, more durable metric: meaningful contribution.
