This is exactly the problem I was trying to point out. Success is not money. To believe success is money is to be greedy and ignore the value of a person just for being.
IMHO success is happiness and safety. All I want is enough to have a little plot of land near a mountain stream so I can listen to the water bubble at I drink my morning coffee. I don't need millions or billions of dollars to do that and I reject that premise that I need money to be successful. I think everyone should have an opportunity to find a reasonable place of happiness and safety.
I supported my son's decision to give up engineering to teach since that gave him more satisfaction with himself. We need more people who are willing to do that and demand liveable wages for doing it rather than chasing some dream that wealth will make them successes and happy.
It's a cycle where enough is never enough because of the only thing that makes you feel good is making more money, then you do things counter productive to society and your well being.
absolutely. the old adage goes- if you love your work, you'll never work a day in your life. Im doing same w/ my oldest. Dont pursue a career based only off income. If you do, you will chase that rabbit forever. Instead, focus on what makes you fulfilled and happy.
Great post on Fathers Day. Thats EXACTLY what fathers do.
