I'll go along with that. And if you can make money while doing so then that's an added bonus

Success can't be measured, for instance the guy who survives on just a tin of spaghetti a day success would be finding a job tomorrow.
Others would think backing the winner in the big race.

Re: Success ?

If you manage to keep good friends in your life, if you have a roof over your head, food on the table and stay out of debt, then I guess you are successful.

Re: Success ?

I would express personal success to be given a challenge, and then defeating it. Some can be big, some small. I'll try to expand on that.

For the sake of discussion, lets say I'm learning to play a new song. The first challenge might be to play a particularly difficult note correctly. Once thats done is a minor personal success. Then, that note has to be added to a particular phrase/riff/lick, call it what you will. Thats the next success.

That then becomes the song. Which is added to other songs. Each of these makes for a bigger personal success. Then, they are played onstage, which brings the biggest success of all if I'm lucky. Its the one that for a short time takes the members of the audience away from their humdrum lives to a place of happiness, a place where they can forget their troubles, albeit for a short while.

After reading through what I have just written, I wonder both how many will understand my thoughts, and how many wont?

Re: Success ?

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.
Albert Einstein

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill

I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.
George S. Patton

The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.
Robert Kiyosaki

I dont feel that my own particular journey has been a success.
