Some people have the wrong ideas on what success is. It's not about having the biggest or nicest house. It's not about having the most expensive car. Those can be factors but it's not the tell all. To me, success is about lifestyle. Meaning, do you have the means to do what you love to do most, anytime you want to do it, with little to no restraints or restrictions that keep you from doing those things. Also, impacting others in a positive way while achieving success AKA lifestyle is important. If you affect people in a positive manner along the way, that's success. If you have taken advantage of others and affected people in a negative way, then your success is tainted and empty. Lifestyle is where it's at. What good is having 5-6 cars and a McMansion along with every surf boart ever made if you can't go surf anytime you want or can't drive your $100,000 sports car, or you have no friends to fill your mansion with for a get together or party because nobody likes you. What good is your portfolio if you can't drop what you're doing and go do what you love because your business or job won't allow or boss or wife (sometimes the same person) said no? If you don't control your life, and are controlled by outside forces, you are not successful.
Worde DP. My teacher asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I told her I wanted to be happy. She told me I didn't understand the question. I told her she didn't understand life. -John Lennon
Exactly. Well said. I've lived by a simple credo: When it's time to work, work hard When it's time to play, play hard. When it's time to party, party hard. When it's time to f@ck, f@ck hard. You do that, you will live a happy, fullfilling life, no matter what you do or what you own.
What if you party too hard and then it time to fvck? [video=youtube;uJ7pgElCPXE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ7pgElCPXE[/video]
I'd also like to add that there are multiple levels of success. It's not either one or the other (successful or not). I have attained certain levels of success based on my own definition, but I'm not at the top of what I would consider success. There are still more levels to attain and that's what keeps me going. Man without vision shall perish. Once you run out of goals what's left? Death. That's what.
Cep, I love you, brah, but those aren't examples of good teachers... Some days I feel like I'm making a positive difference and some days I am a baby sitter. It can change from class section to class section. Right now? Baby sitting. Next block Baby sitting. 2nd half of the day I'll spend getting ready for this weekend's theater production. 95% of the public school teachers work their asses off. I have a lot of freedom in my curriculum because of the nature of theater. I don't have to teach to a test and my "adnims" are just glad that kids want to come to my classes. They see my class as part of the "drop out prevention program." Some students get a lot out of these classes. We build sets, write plays and practice public speaking. I've seen kids that are assholes in every other class shine on stage. My political leanings are predominantly fiscally conservative. My ideas about society more libertarian. Tear me a new one if you feel the need.
No way comrade Trump is awesome. So you never answered one of my previous questions on chemtrails, do you believe??? It seems like a good youtube conspiracy you would buy right into.
An insane amount of noise generated every day by the embarrassingly partisan media. And in 4 years, they will pat themselves on the back for winning so many battles for the DNC and trump will once again win the war. The silver lining is that they'll get 4 more years of daily Trump bashing (lying). A day without whites. Congratulations, libs. You have successfully made racism cool again.
I fail to see how prejudice against whites doesn't equal racism. Low information + undereducated + rationalization = Today's Libs
bro they redefined racism not even kidding now, you can only be racist if you are part of a dominant paradigm/power structure aka privileged Im not kidding
