Success

Thursday 15th February 2007 12:28 in Human Relations

My brother is very successful. He’s the most successful person I know. What do you think when you read that? He has a lot of money? He’s famous? No, not those things. If you thought I meant that, then you really need to re-evaluate your ideas of success. You need to ignore the daily bombardment from the press and advertising.

He’s fair, decent, honest and diplomatic. He has integrity. He’s found someone he loves and they’re very happy together. They live on a modest income and appreciate the best things in life, the free things. The countryside, the sea and each other. He does’t have to play any social games or political games at work. He doesn’t have any stress or pressure. He doesn’t suffer any scrutiny from the press or public. He breathes clean air every day in an idyllic environment. He has good health. He has good and genuine friends who he knows do not want him for his fame or money, but simply for who he is. He has the full support of a united family. He has peace of mind. He’s happy with what he has.

In my opinion that is real success, and it has nothing to do with the values most commonly promoted by the media.
