Success

Was just reading thru Qian's blog and it reminded me the 'twist of fate' I was going thru two years ago. It is very hard to make decisions when 1) you don't what's the right thing to choose or 2) it involves your future and 3)you wished you had both!

High school year, success is define as good grades. College years, success is when you get into the best uni and be the coolest kid in the block. Get out of uni, success is when you get good job offers. 20s is when you spend most of your time trying to make decisions that you think is right.

The definition of being successful varies in individuals and it varies at different point of a time. Sometimes it's family, sometimes it's money, sometimes it's fame, sometimes it's religion. But there is not one time when you can have everything.

And this is when balance comes in. I think it's good to be not extreme. To be rich but have family. Probably not filthy rich but just enough to make give you a comfortable life. To have career but not forget about friends too.
