Being able to support my father who's been disabled for 6 years and being able to look directly in his eyes and tell him not to thank me , you would've done the same for me. It's all about family for me, the measure of one's success is to treat others as you would want to be treated. To love my sister and 2 brothers because they've been there for me when I was fighting with my demons.
I'm 26 years old and for nine years I'm proud to say I've never collected a unemployment check or asked anyone for a loan. I have constantly pushed myself to move up the corporate ladder as far as work is concerned but not to step on other people to get there. blah blah , I can go on and on, but I'll just leave it at that.
:wtf: :wtf: are you for real?

Yeah right. You mean the number of pommes you eat when you're tired from browsing at Pimkie and Orsay, so you stop at Penny to buy your leberkässemmel drenched in senf.
Don't hide it. We know you don't eat at pizza hut, or Cici's, or Little Caesars :o

Incidentally, the clearest memory I have to from our school trip to London plays in the toilet of a Pizza Hut. Went to the all-you-can-eat, and needless to say I ate. At first because I was hungry, then because it was delicious, then because it was there and free. I ate until I got sick and against better knowledge went to get even more slices after that. When I returned to the table I felt things were going wrong and excused myself, followed by a friend who had the same problem. So we went to the toilet, sat in adjacent cubicles for like 25 minutes, mostly moaning things like "Oh " and "Dude, it hurts so much". But what I'll never forget is how we shared a bottle of cola during that time, rolling it back and forth under the wall and how I made the ominous promise that that pizza is going to leave inside of me, one way or another.
Good times! :stongue:
Indeed I haven't entered a pizza hut since.

I don't reckon there is one. Here, let's analyse three possibilities. Namely happiness, recognition, and achievement :)
Happiness: Let's suppose we take happiness as the ultimate measure, and we divide it into two categories for the argument's sake: Selfish happiness and altruistic happiness.
Selfish Happiness: A responsible party-goer that lives in festaland with his mates and dies in an accident not caused by him after spending a whole year in total bliss (whether or not drugs or alcohol were part of the mix is irrelevant - the fact is that he was happy with his lifestyle) is hardly the pinnacle of human success. Even if he was a playboy and spent his whole life partying hard and living the good life, being lucky enough to dodge the bad moments or get over them with positive thoughts, would you really say he was successful.
Altruistic happiness: Suppose the wife of a business tycoon married her husband in her early teens and never did anything other than help those in need. Her husband earned the money and she spent a substantial amount of his fortune on social projects. She did this her entire life. It can't get less selfish than that - had she made her family or friends happy, there'd be some selfishness in that because it would be her immediate social group that would benefit from her actions. But, it says nothing about the people she helped. What if they failed to do anything with the support they received and just leeched off her efforts in order to live a comfortable idle life? Would you say that their happiness still counts?
Recognition: Suppose you're a talented artist. The world considers you the apex of human creativity. Yet, you're also tormented by whatever it is that bugs you. This is how you spend your whole life: depressed, doing stuff to channel you depression into something you can earn a living from, get more depressed, and so on. By the end of this cycle, you're probably in the pantheon of great artists such as Michelangelo, Shakespeare, and Mozart. But you feel like your life was a total failure because you spent most of your time wishing you were dead. Is it fair to say you lived a successful life?
Achievement: Success comes from the verb "to succeed", so it's fair to say it should have something to do with being able to do something i.e. to succeed in doing something. But, what? Let's say you become the World Sudoku Champion, or the World's Greatest Player of Super Mario Kart. Is that enough to grant you the status of "a successful person"? Probably not. What if you build a gigantic theory of the universe? Or, much more humbly, what if you isolated a protein that could save thousands of lives? Sure enough, this would be much closer to our concept of what a successful person must do. However, suppose you found the cure for cancer at the expense of your family life (so you're miserable as hell) and in a sad twist of events, your credits were all gone to someone else. You did something great in your lifetime: You found the cure for cancer, hooray! Yet no one cares about you, and there's no one happy with your achievement, quite on the contrary. Now, is this your image of a successful person?
So, roughly speaking, the measurement of success in life must be, at best, multiple (if that!)... and hardly something that I can assess in a single post, though I did my best.
