Success

"My idea of success," he said, "is personal freedom."
Freedom "from everything- from money from poverty, from ease and anxiety, from all the material accidents. To keep a kind of republic of the spirit- that's what i call success." (70)


Seldon's idea of success is one that I believe all people are able to relate to. It is miraculous to think of how much pressure society puts on people that revolve around the material aspects of the world. All of this pressure by society certainly affects everyone. And because of this pressure, how many times do you, as an individual want to escape it all? This is the idea of success that Seldon has. He thinks success is some way of escaping it all. Escaping from the pressures that surround people every day of their life.
