Well this may sound overly spiritual, but personally, I base success on the degree of self knowledge one attains, the achievement of optimal health (body and mind), and the fulfillment of one's maximum potential. I'll agree that having money is nice, and can bring certain transient pleasures of its own, but ultimately it will not fulfill us in the end. We cannot be satisfied with more and more, because we are evolved for another lifeway in which material goods do not matter. Just look at Charlie Sheen.

This is correct - I am all set in the money department - but due to a series of unfortunate events, my health is in tatters at the moment. No amount of money can buy back the quality of life difference this is making. I would gladly give up all my material possessions to regain my health.

This is true, and if movies have taught me nothing else, it's that when a maleficent spectral being or garden-variety corporeal axe murderer is on the loose, the cool, sex-having kids are the first to go!

John Paulson averaged $158 each second of 2010. Game over.

I was going to say "Pretty much this", but then I read it again, and realised that believing in doing what I want to do and beleiving in this generic PC bullshit are not one and the same thing. I will say though, that to me success is being able to look back at yourself and/or your achievements in whatever, and be able to feel good about them. Also, what's up with the argument that nerds will end up happy purely because they'll get more money? Is that the only positive thing in their future that they can dream of?
