Happiness and Success, the yin and yang of life ?

There are only two things in life worth striving for. One is happiness; the other is success
There are lot of happy people who aren't very successful. And there are a lot of successful people who aren't very happy.
To be happy, you need to create a positive attitude in your own mind. A powerful sense of self, so to speak.
To be successful, you need to create a positive attitude in the minds of other people. Success is what others do for you not what you do for yourself
Wish to challenge the conventional wisdom that hard work, total dedication and constant improvement deliver you success in life. Positive thinking might make you happy (the yin) and its a terrific approach to life in general but it won't bring you success.
Happiness and success, the yin and yang of life. The chinese symbols for all principles one finds in the universe, the yin and yang are diametrically opposed concepts.
How can we achieve both at the same time - comments welcome ?
