When you do it all, cuz you fucking feel like it.

"BITCH! You can't do this to me!" Silvio

example....I meet Russel Crow...I make him randy for my mind and body and soul...he wants me ...I get him...I'm both successful in acheiving something I onced percieved as unobtainable, and very very VEERY happy.....

Another example....I get my MBA....I am succesful in obtaining it but the happiness levels could not even compare to Russel Its merely an succesful endevour...the benifits have little happiness worth but mostly monetary.

But between your two Id probably pick passion most likely youll make money if your passionate about something (and want to make cash) - I just hope Im not passionate about an endangered butterfly.

Freedom allows you to challenge yourself in ways you previously could not have. That can be very rewarding. It is not hard to make money. All you need is a little courage.

My defintion of success is:

What is the answer to this question: "Is my performance the very best it could be"?

If yes...success.

The only way to go is down........

I will never consider myself successful, lest i become complacement

ahhh...but how would you know unless you attempted more?...it may merely be what you your percieve as your very best....perceptions change....after all it was percieved a man, at his very best, would never walk on the moon...yet......

Alas...I will never be truely succesful ...however, the journey is sometimes more rewardign than the destination..

And Shagwell - one of the guys I work with - his wife's best friend is an acctress and she was the leading lady to Russell Crowe in that cheesy hockey movie (I think she was also the wife in Howard Stern's movie). Anyway, she dated Russell during the filming of the movie - as do most leading couples during the shoots - and she now says he is a huge raving maniac lunatic and is a connniving manipulative physically abusive bastard. and he likes anal. giving it.
I personally think she is just mad about the anal.

Can you procure Mr. Crowe's telephone number for me? What's wrong with liking anal? Have you ever tried it (either top or bottom)?

I forget what the last movie he was in which he acted with the directors wife, but I'll ask my mom.

Shags,

Why must you miss my point?

Success is, "Am I doing the best I can at this endeavor"? not, "is there more I can do with my life"?

There is always more I can do with my life. I am studiyng for three different certifcations or lcenses now - I wish it were more...I mean that. I only have 100 years here or so.....can't do it all but I'll dying..but that isn't what I mean by success....

if you look at it that way you are destined to fail...sometimes I do look at it that way :-(.....but on to the point I was trying to make:

For example, you are in school now, pursuing the most overrated degree there is. (MBA) When you get your grades, ask yourself, "did I do the best I could?" if the answer is yes...you have succeeded even with a 2.7 GPA.

If the answer is no, you have failed, even with a 4.0 GPA.

"It was the movie Gladiators. The woman that was kept off the set when Russell was there was the woman who played his wife in the movie. It was either the director's wife or girlfriend, I think it was girlfriend. You'll notice that in the movie - they don't have any scenes actually together!"

You won't be overrated. Just your degree. And you might actually be one of the good ones.

Only time will tell.

I call them overrated because MBAs are the ultimate in lacking vision. The MBA goal is to go out and become an executive and maybe even a CEO one day. In other words, MBAs want to do well with someone else's idea. Big deal!!

I like to see myself as one of the "good ones"

My reason for persuing MBA, is to give me the ticket to get into the game. When I get there I will be not only the coach,but also offensive and defense coordinators. But as all great coaches know...listening to their players can help provide alternative views, and insights which may benifit the team that the coach never saw.

Is that what they told you, dear Shags?

That unfortunately is wrong. You will be just another player in someone else's game.

The only way to be the coach (and offensive/defensive coordinators) is to start your own business. And that is what MBAs don't do.

Surely you have heard of IBM, Novell, Lotus, Netscape, etc. You know what these companies have in common? Failure. Also, MBA leadership. (IBM may have righted the ship but they will never be an industry leader ever again. Novell may finally turn it around but they are an afterthought now.)

Likewise, you know Microsoft, Oracle and Dell. Not a college grad among their founders. And they are three of the most successful companies around.
