Success versus Value

Today, I invite you to reflect upon the importance you give to "success". Everybody wishes to become a successful person, to achieve important goals, to be acknowledged and admired. No harm in that, it is a totally human desire. Now, let us see how many yearn to rather become a person of "value". How many would happily barter a "successful" life for a life of "merit", if they could choose? Not too many? Examine yourself, taking these definitions into consideration.
Success means
getting, achieving, having
Value means
principles, standards of behavior, being. 
I find this question quite interesting. It is not an idea of mine, though. It is Einstein's!
