[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 541001, member: 6705"] Perhaps, because we are coming from different cultures, we view success differently. To me - success is being able to feed, clothe and house my family, transport them as necessary, and do some fun stuff, too - but not TOO much goofing. Success is learning my job well enough to be able to say when I [I]don't [/I]know something. Having people who genuinely care about me, and who I genuinely care about. And being able to curl up in bed at night with nothing weighing on my conscience. I don't need to be rich, or famous, or the most beautiful, or the most talented. I don't need to compete at Master Chef - my family thinks I'm a good cook and that's enough. I have a nest egg in the bank that will last me about a month (not long enough, I know). I clean up pretty well, and I'm smart enough to know that I'm not the brightest bulb, but I'm far from the dimmest. on the other hand, I don't consider myself mediocre. I am the BEST Stepto2 I can be. I still want to be a better Stepto2, and I'll keep working on that. I'm not giving up now because I am "good enough". [/QUOTE]
