I was always taught that the three types of people are those that can count and those that can't

Everyone that has responded has completely missed my point, and has gone onto a tangent of what a success is, my view of success is whatever each individual deems as successful, i posted this as many of us fall into the second catergorie, though it might help. Gues not

if you wanted to say "many of us should consider spending the time to become excellent poker players instead of just good poker players, since in the long run we would make more money" then you should have said that. instead, we get sweeping and oversimplified declarations about the nature of the human race. if you have a point, make it. don't hint at it.

Just one question:

"successor"?

WTF?

Sorry, I guess that was two questions.


Word to the wise - before attempting complex human analysis, you should probably learn how to write and spell.

I would also suggest reading Victor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" before attempting this sort of thing again

"[Man is] a being whose main concern consists in fulfilling a meaning and in actualizing values, rather than in the mere gratification and satisfaction of drives and instincts."

"What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him."

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life - daily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."
