Did you accomplish much in life?

[MisterBeale]

I did not accomplish much. Not much success. I am 52.


Even in Politics I influenced very few people.

Please tell me about you.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Great accomplishment and overcoming difficulties! Best wishes to you!

What I learned is that success belongs to the truly ruthless. Never give an inch. Lie, cheat, and smash through all barriers. Leave nothing but rubble so everyone knows where you were. Kindness belongs to the weak.

It depends on what you think is successful.
I dropped out of high school in the 10th grade but I retired at 46.
Am I successful?

Cat went from living in the streets of NY with nothing to becoming an attorney and successful multiple business owner

A lot of intelligent people do the same.
I spent several years being somewhat homeless. I learned real quick that taking cold showers in January and cooking canned food over a fireplace sucked ass!!
If thats not enough to give you some motivation I dont know what is.

I grew up pretty rich and i only went down

I recently lost a cousin who was just one year younger than me. That kind of circumstance is another one to consider when thinking about this subject. Plenty of people accomplish more compared to others due to their getting to be here longer.

God bless you and the remainder of my family always!!!

P.S. Sadly my cousin's best friend was the bottle which is why liver failure was the cause of his passing.

Just because you don't know your impact..does not mean you had none~

Just because you don't smell it doesn't mean you didn't expel it.

 

[Grumblenuts]

^Damn, that's a nice retort for "He who dealt it smelt it." Just squeaked out of nowhere. Sometimes I even amaze myself. Think I'll have that embossed on my urn.

I've always liked, "Whoa, did you fart?" "No, did you shit?"

The true meaning of life reveals itself only whilst confronted by such deep concerns.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

From my awful beginnings I think I have come far.
Not as far as many obviously but I am very content with my life.

 

[Blues Man]

It all depends on how you define success.

 

[Flash]

You live and then you die.

Your family and friends remember you for a few years after you die but eventually all the people that knew you will be gone.

Your picture or account of life might be around long after you are gone but the people that see it never knew you.

A very very very small percentage of humans will have their accomplishments remembered long after their deaths. Some of those accomplishments will be good but others will be bad.

As time progresses soon everything will be forgotten and be part of the dust of time.

Okey dokey!

I am very, very, very proud of myself for one thing: To the best of my knowledge, I have never fathered a child.

I believe that being born is the greatest tragedy imaginable.

 

[Votto]

There is a small accomplishment of not taking upon myself obligations I can not fulfill. This is an example.

Too bad you could not influence millions of people like Hitler

Oh well, maybe in the next life.

 

[Man of Ethics]

I didn't write a book and I didn't plant a tree.

Is that mean that I didn't accomplish much?

I wrote a few books which very few people read. I prefer not to share them here.

WOW! This is 100% what I stand for!

 

[Man of Ethics]

I grew up pretty rich and i only went down

Sort of like me!

 

[Man of Ethics]

Too bad you could not influence millions of people like Hitler

Oh well, maybe in the next life.

Why such comparison?

I believe that being born is the greatest tragedy imaginable.

You can correct that pretty easily.
