LOL! You are in a chipper mood this evening! Did you have more kool-aide than usual? A run through the gauntlet, I see. Well, I'll appease your questions just for fun.
Well first there is your education you attain.
What does this have to do with success? Is it really success to say that you can parrot back some facts about a subject but never really get to use them AND to pay them an ungodly amount of money to do so? OR is it a success to actually learn the trade you started in as a young man, get on the job training and understand the trade and nothing else that is irrelevant to it, AND GET PAID while doing it? Now I make WAY more than a college grad AND I have NO COLLEGE DEBT! In my book, SUCCESS!!
You put so much emphasis on your education? Are you so insecure about it that you have to pound your weak chest about your degree in art?
What sacrifices and commitments have you made for others? Military service? A war? Volunteer to help those less fortunate?
Plenty, but to list everything would seem like bragging and I don't believe in "showing my peals to swine". I do know that you did serve in the military and I do thank you for that.
Then the money you are able to earn.
"Able to" and "have earned" are two different ideas. I am able to earn quite a pretty penny as does everyone in America, but what I have earned is more than what you think for this lowly high school grad.
Then the relationships in your life, wife, children, grandchildren, friends, brothers, sisters, etc…
Deep and meaningful, but of course you wouldn't believe what I say anyways. (except one brother who is an idiot).
Then, what have you done to leave the country and the world a better place? Anything? Doctor? Inventions? Art? Legacy?
Ooh! You are going to hate me for this, but I will leave the world a better place by teaching the next generation to not think like you and people like you. People who are so narrow minded and foolish college grads that like to brag about their posterity on an internet site because they have done all that they have been programmed to do.
Whew! Now that I have wasted my time with you. . . good day!
