What level of success makes them miserable? Once they cross that threshold of success, can they ever be content?

They think it will fill a void in their life. It usually doesn't.

Kind of a reflection of our society - If I get this new TV, car, clothing, phone, etc.....THEN I will be happy. And everyone just keeps chasing.

Oh, confound it, man!

Are you afraid of success?

I'm offering you a three-year contract at twenty thousand dollars a year, starting today.

Is it a deal, or isn't it?

I know it's not the purpose of the thread but to question the usefulness of success is a quintessential Chicago sports discussion.

For guys, they think it means unlimited young pussy. For women, success means they tricked a successful man into marriage.

I don’t think so, Ike.

Who hurt you so badly as a child Ike?

Ummm, yeah no. If one is miserable, I would contend money is not a factor either way. It is a lot better to have sufficient resources than not. Money does not necessarily make one happier, but it sure takes a lot of stress and problems off the table.

Lets be honest: No one is happy. That's why people have kids.

Is Nas feeling a lack of success? Or is he miserable?

agreed. THEYRE MY WHOLE WORLD!!! yea, we know.

I feel like this bored may have some misconceptions around the concepts of marriage and parenthood.

Maybe, maybe not. They worry about different things and have different problems and they can cover for them better but it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Success means different things to different people. Ike thinks I’m successful, I’ve been struggling for at least 5 years though. I’ve had some success in life, some good fortune, but I’m wildly unfulfilled. Who defines my success, me or others?

yea the not miserable people are clueless

Based on the Ryder Cup comment, why does your success make you miserable and we can end this thread.

Because patriotism demands I root for Bryson Dechambeau.

My alternative is becoming a ‘cheers’ guy.

It’s an either/or and both are equally repulsive.

Money alone doesn't bring happiness, but it sure does remove stressors which can make enjoying life a lot easier if you're already happy.

Denis pretty much already said this so I feel like I'm plagiarizing him a bit, but it's true.

I’m through flippin’ burgers and fryin’ fries. I’m gettin’ it together and I realize to be a success takes determination, that’s why I’m enrollin’ in the College of Automation.

S-U-C-C-E-S-S Success!

My Mother never gave me much advice but she gave me 2 and I remember them -

1 - There's a lot of fish in the sea.

2 - Don't ever go into debt.

Excellent pull!

because they are using the wrong goals by which to define success

A happy marriage producing good kids is rewarding throughout life and is as big a step at creating a better world than just about anything else you can do
