I've known lots of failure..... so really to quantify and put into context what do you consider to be sucess? Living without stress. Happy within oneself. That's all there is.

I've known lots of failure..... so really to quantify and put into context what do you consider to be sucess? I reckon if someone thinks their life is successful then it is. Success means different things for different people, trying to define it any absolute sense is futile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Skinty Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 It's a good idea to know what you are aiming for. For me it will be when I have my own house, with land, self sufficient-ish in the highlands of Scotland and I can work from home on my own research.

What I am aiming for is to be able to work on my own research without money worries and lead a more natural life in a small community in the kind of environment where I most feel at home (the highlands). Nothing more than that. What I described is the best outcome for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so it's living without worry, with independence yet with a sense of belonging and that's how you intend to fulfill these psychological needs. Sounds like a plan, Stan.

ImA20SomethingGetMeOutOfHere Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Personally, I couldn't give a rat's **** about "success". For me, a good life though would be moving to somewhere sunny like southern Queensland, working part time so that I've got enough money get by and generally chilling the hell out. I'd like to have enough time and energy to be a proper dad and husband. I'd like to a PhD although if I ever produce anything that is of actualy use to humanity I shall be bitterly disappointed. I'd like to learn kite surfing and how to play classical guitar well enough to be able to play Gymnopidie no.1 by Eric Satie. I'd like to be able to do nothing but sit in a hammock and drink beer all day once in a while if the need takes me. I'd like to explore the Aussie outback by 4wd. I'd like to get fit again. Happily this all looks like it may come to pass. I've just got to endure 2 years stuck in this shithole first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashedOutAndBurned Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I think it's the amount of time you spend doing what you enjoy and give a ****** about versus what you don't like and couldn't give a ****** about. I mean, if you're on your death bed you just want to think, 'Yeah, that was kind of what I wanted to do, give or take...' I barely know anyone that enjoys their job these days yet it eats up more and more of their time and their nervous energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
