How do you measure success

[faithhealer]

With Alby, if you enjoy each working day you can't ask for much more. Having people you have only known for a week write great letters of recommendation speaks volumes.

I've never been well off, never owned my house, buy and drive my brothers ex cabs that have over 200,000 miles on the clock, cars ar'nt a big thing with me.

I've had some great times and that means more than worrying about other issues in life, my maggie is the dogs nuts and I'm happy with my life.

Mistakes I have made big time but I'm so laid back I could fall over when standing up, could be an age thing though.

Wow - this is a deep thread for a Friday night....

Success is surely simply measured by how closely your acheivements match your goals. It may be money, it may be happiness, it may be good health it may be the antithesis of all of these. It is easy to get money but would you be happy doing it....it is easy to be miserable but would you get rich doing it.

Success is a really subjective concept. I think your goals define your level of success in a sociological context.......trouble is if you are not careful your perception of success can define your goals whether you are in exhultaion or depression. That is the bad road IMO.....

success is where you draw the line in the sand...... not where people expect you to draw it (imo)

Do parrots that don't have beaks always succeed
