What is Success to you?

[the_bob_delusion]

Do you consider yourself successful? If yes, what makes you a success? If not, what's missing?

Do you rate success based on physical, financial, spiritual or familial standards? If so, name something that will be sufficient to propel you to reach "success"

Do you judge your success by comparing yourself with others? Who do you consider more successful than you?

At my age success is checking the obituaries column in the paper each morning and not seeing my name there.

Or hopefully if your name IS in the obits....it isn't you. 🙂

As I've discovered by searching for relatives on the net including FB, there are also at least 4 people with the same name as me.....but they are definitely not me thank goodness.

And here was I thinking I was unique. LOL

Is it because of your need to live through your kids to make up for your shortcomings or unsuccess?

Taking drugs and smoking marijuana makes some people happy. Is that success to you?

That was rude.

No, it is because I think parenting is the hardest job out there, and I consider myself a success with that as my children prove.

Not sure about the 'unsuccess' but then I made through to Garde 12

Honestly Bob....while I wouldn't want to raise kids for all the tea in China (I'm pretty sure I'd suck at it), other people have done it well and it has nothing to do with making up for 'unsuccess' as you call it.

It's posts like yours that remind me the forum really needs a thumbs down option.

Are you saying parents who raised **bleep**ty kids are failures?

[zanadoo_56]

No!

I'm saying YOUR comments re having kids are ridiculous.
