success in life

[_Cathy_]

sinasabi ko lang = we dont need anymore added attention.

last year lang may nagregalo sa mama ko relo. Ayun nakatagoh.

yung pagtaas ng gold on paper eh ok yan pag normal life. Pero pag pasok ng survival mode ano pakinabang ng jewelries?

who says that people wear gold for attention? Hindi ba pwedeng people do it for themselves. Hindi ko lang nakwento sa board pero 2 months ako I lost my necklace that I have worn EVERYDAY for decades. The necklace was from my Mom, pendant from my Dad and the other pendant was from my BINYAG. Ilang araw ko iniyakan yun kasi parang comfort blanket ko yung necklace na yun.

That is the same as people assuming that women wear make up for men, hindi ba pwede enjoy lang yung babae mag kulay ng mukha niya?

Pag survival mode wala rin naman value ang pera. Health and skills ang importante. DOCTOR at hunters/strong men ang pinaka kailangan in that situation. Basta ako I am sticking with crush.

and BTW di mo ba alam na tumaas na naman value ng gold?

My poor ass didn't know this. So if you sell a jewelry it's possible mas mahal na siya than when you bought it? Parang lupa, ganun?

Yup, people do invest in physical investment grade gold in the here & now....Still, riches in the after are defined very differently.[emoji4]

Possible. Per gram kasi mostly basis ng price ng bentahan ng jewelry. Nung bago ako sa job ko, my Mom told me to save part of my salary for jewelry, I hate that I didn't listen to her.

Unfabricated physical gold, not in jewelry form, some do buy & keep.

You mean the bars and coins? But Jewelry you can also sell higher esp if you bought it some place cheaper

Yup...I'm not sure how bling fares relative to bars. I just know they're more preferred than forex by those into stable investments.

I studied world-class athletes and their rise to fame and fortune.

Michael Phelps struck me the most as odd if our metrics for success are fame and fortune.

He succeeded in his sports. He is the greatest Olympian of all time. He had 23 Olympic golds, but the Philippines, populated by 100 million people, never had a single gold since joining the Olympics in the 20s. He said, if you want to be the best, you have to do the things that other people aren’t willing to do.

He started swimming at 11 years old, not that impressive considering that Tiger Woods started hitting golf balls at the age of two. According to his swimming coach, Bob Bowman, there was a time that Phelps practiced everyday for 12 hours a day or more for 5 or 6 straight years.

But has he succeeded in life? If so, then why did he at one point consider of taking his own life?

There’s no question thru hard work he achieved so many things. But achievement and success are two different concepts.

Achieving your daily, monthly, quarterly, annual goals does not mean you have succeeded. If your goal is to be rich and famous, and you become rich and famous, it does not mean you already have succeeded. You just achieved your goal.

I think to succeed, you need to start with Why. You need to know your purpose, your cause, and your belief.

People who changed the world, the Wright brothers, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, to name a few, knew their belief, cause, and purpose.

The list of billionaires who agreed to give half of their fortunes to foundations are increasing. I think when you’re already up there, you only get to succeed only if you give back and change the world.

And that is, I think, what is meant to succeed.

achievement is objective. everyone can see the figures on the tally sheets and agree.
success is subjective. it's how you feel.

You put it exactly in just few words.

Success is in the limbic brain; achievement is in the neocortex.

i'm with you.
some folks like to raise the bar.
i prefer keeping it lower and easily achieveable.
kinda like those mmda-designed pre-formed concrete elevated pedestrian crossings with pedestrian-unfriendly high steps, compared to the steel crossings with not-so-tall steps.

The more you go up, the bigger your goals are. Humans are wired to aim for something bigger and better, contentment is subjective.

If you want to live a simple life, move away to a place with less people and be one with nature.

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
