Burt Reynolds and What is Success ?

In the news, also posted by a friend in Facebook, Burt Reynolds, the famous movie star of the 70s, is apparently broke and is selling off his stuff. 

I feel sad to hear about this. He was a big star. However, he is not alone. Many people succeeded in beating poverty, but failed to manage wealth. As comedian Bill Hicks said, "It's just a ride." 

This is what I think: a successful person is not necessarily rich and famous. A successful person is one who is able to live happily under any conditions in life, whether rich or poor, famous or unknown, married or single, powerful or common, and is able to do what he or she loves to do. Enjoy your ride !!!

Mistakes

A co-worker says it is "scary" that I never make mistakes.Of course this can't be true. Nobody is perfect. I think he rather means that I am a very good worker, usually very accurate in my work, especially when it comes to financial and legal matters. Mistake is not always a bad thing. It makes you grow and learn. After failure, there will be success.

Yes to win, No to lose

If you say no, you'll feel powerful for a little while, but you'll lose. If you say yes, you'll feel wonderful for a long time and we'll both win.
