What is 'nonsense'?
The term
'nonsense' describes absurd, ridiculous, foolish or meaningless words,
ideas or conduct. Nonsense is purely subjective: you are likely to see 'nonsense' when you disapprove of it.
For example, you might disapprove of the word
‘bullshit’, although others commonly use it to indicate nonsense.
Deciding on what is nonsense and what is not depends on your state of
mind, for what matters is not nonsense itself, but how you look at it.
No-one can tell with confidence what you regard to be
nonsense. One person’s nonsense could be another person’s sense.
The same applies to success: only you can define success and decide
exactly what success means to you. This is why we can say with confidence
that 'nonsense' is anything that stops you from being successful.
