Yes, Yes
Measure yourselves with your own well-conceived yardsticks. Don't let someone else's hype sweep you into a herd that is chasing a less valuable goal.
Pay the price of success in honest effort, then enjoy the result.

PS: If you name a specific goal, there is plenty of more specific advice available from CD readers.
