What is meant by the "third metric?" If you care to answer please do so within the context of your rotation projects.

Huffington describes the "third metric" as an additional measurement of success. In today's society success is often measured based on power and money. Everyone thinks about how they can obtain success and almost always it involves gaining power (whether it be a high level management position or a business owner) and having money. In April of 2007, Huffington had an accident that opened her eyes and forced her to re-evaluate her life and challenge what it meant to be successful. The third metric involves well-being, wisdom, wonder, and giving. Being able to embody each of these things allows us to remain stable and truly obtain success. If success is a stool and if what we think of success is true, that it is only based on power and money then that stool would fall. Huffington explains that its essential to have that third metric so that we may continue to stand. "Money should be the result of the value we bring to others, not the prize we sacrifice ourselves to obtain." This quote speaks immensely about what our society is like and how often we get caught up in trying to get rich at the cost of our own well-being. I think we should all challenge our self to re-evaluate what our own definition of success is. At the end of the day money and power alone will not bring you life long success.
