The right system is a train and if you get on you never get off? I think Fred Brooks would differ.

Look more carefully: there are many stops along the way with people jumping out on "Laziness" station for instance or taking shortcuts.

I believe you can buy a printed copy of this pic at Top Dog in Berkeley. For whatever reason.

I remember seeing this poster while waiting for my chicken-apples and it struck me as being strangely insightful.

I hope that "system" is defined as hard work, passion and faith on your project. Otherwise this poster has no value.

I do like the picture. I see a lot of traps and temptations that get in peoples' way.

But we should remember that in some sense we must all individually self-define what "success" is. I just don't buy the rat-race-up-the-mountain metaphor. Life is more about tradeoffs and operating near to your potential. And in pursuing idealistic goals.
