To be successful, what a futile goal! It is not like it is going to last as the mind and the body rot in the earth. And what of going down in the history books? Now thats eternal life. And wouldn't that feel good to read about all of the good things you have done. Oh wait. But we get recognition in this lifetime too, and isn't it all flattering? You are right, I am truly great. But what if no one hears about what I did? Or worse yet, no one cares? Wait, does that mean my life is only worth what others perceive it to be? We have all seen what a speculative market did to our stock market this past year.
