Success

lmao @ aemeth..

Success is setting goals...and achieving them.

Also...I think a lot of success is based upon being able to look back on your accomplishments and life up to this point...and have no regrets....being content and happy with who you are is a success in itself.

Enjoy Life...

Success is simply when you achieve what you want. Everyone of us wants something different and by no means limited to money. When we succeed in obtaining what we want from life we will have achieved success /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I think achieving your goals that you set for yourself is a short term success. I was talking about success in the context of having fullfillment of life. I agree that the events in our past forge us into who we are today and it has a lot of bearing on our success. I also agree that being able to look back and be content with whatever happened and how you handled things is also a success. I don't however believe that you can not, not have regrets in life. There will be times when you wll face a situtation that you might regret now or in future. I don't believe that anyone can go in life without having a few regrets.

Dee,

the only thing you can experience or learn that will mark the complete fulfillment of life is knowledge of death.

QUOTE(trashtalkr)That's easy man. I always stop your crossover....

You spelled "get burned by" wrong.

Success can go off on many tangents based on goals, but true success, to me, is being 65 years old, on vacation with your immediate family somewhere very very tropical..and watchin a football game with your sons, drinkin some tequilas, while the wife and daughters are out shopping...and knowing that each of your kids is set straight as an arrow with their own life, knowing you will have enough money to last for yourself, and being in the good books with the Man upstairs...

That's a portrait of true success in my mind, at least in a practical sense..

Raum I do agree with you on this one. Death is the only truth about life and to be able to know about it will be a fullifillment. Many of us look for the reason why we are even on this planet when ulimately we are all to die one day. We fear death even though we all know that one day it is bound to happen. This could be a spinoff thread on Death...

Anyway I do agree but then again one should not focus on death alone and trying hard to realise what it is and forget to live.

Success to me is being happy. When you are fully happy, you have succeeded. You may have nothing, but have found peace and are happy with what you have. Like DD.

For me, success does involve money. When I can have anything I want whenever I want and never having to worry about bills and such, that makes me happy. I know I have suceeded when I can relax.

Did I mention my new car? I'll post a pic soon. It's a Mazda RX8!

We still have the focus. The Mazda is so much more fun though. We plan to sell the Focus to a friend since my honey refuses to sell his F150
