Comments on: Happiness Or Success http://blog.ninthball.com/2009/02/happiness-or-success/ Those with insight should have the foresight to act or react with wisdom Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:12:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: AdmirerGQ http://blog.ninthball.com/2009/02/happiness-or-success/comment-page-1/#comment-48 AdmirerGQ Wed, 18 Feb 2009 02:20:35 +0000 http://blog.ninthball.com/?p=68#comment-48 For me, I say it can’t be either or. I think they both goes hand in hand. Like how the article talks about balance. And as we all know, with everything balance must exist. But since the question is asked, “which one do you choose?” putting balance aside, I will have to go with my happiness. I think The Gem said it best with the questions, who defines success? Success to most people is what the world sees them as. Even though there’s always an exception to the rules, we see those who allow the world to define their success everyday. Like those that gets the car before the house. Those that will settle for anyone, just to say I’m marry. I had a friend in High school who when asked by the teacher what did she wanted to be, her answer was a lawyer. Her reason, because they make a lot of money. During one of my stress moment with classes in undergrad as a Computer Science major, a friend of mine asked me why don’t I become a pastor. Her reason, they make a lot of money. If the mind set of these two individuals is still the same, than I guess it is safe to say which one they would choose. For me, I say it can’t be either or. I think they both goes hand in hand.

What's more important - Success or happiness? and better yet, who defines success? me or the world? I would choose happiness - which would hopefully encompass MY view of success, whatever that happens to be - be it a family or a job or whatever. It's pointless to be "successful" and unhappy in my opinion. I have actually thought a lot about this over the years..trying to figure out how to shape my life.
