Question #2

I hate questions like these, but I don't have any magazines that question one asked to look through around my place so I am forced to answer this one. It's just so broad, "What goals do I have in my life?" I dunno, what goals to we all have in our lives; to be successful in what we do. Whatever that may be, we all just want to succeed. It can be at anything, as long as we have that feeling of success or accomplishment, then we have satisfied said goal. I'm not saying that is the end all, above all goal we have, justing saying most things can be clumped into this catagory of succeeding. Becoming wealthy, winning some sort of awards, marrying a hot wife, becoming a happy person, these can all be looked at as ways of succeeding in life. That is, of course you look at these things as good things and take the word success as it is used in its conventional way. The things I just listed here may or may not be what you or someone else thinks as succeeding.

In using the most conventional use of the word, I suppose I would want all those things. Who wouldn't. Are they important things? Depends who you ask. But I think it is just human nature to want to be successful at anything. Whether that is being the next Spike Lee, or the next Christopher McCandless, everyone eants to succeed in their vision in what life is all about. By their standards and by their standards alone. This is the reason why I disagree when people say others have failed. It's okay to say it and their is no stopping anyone from thinking that, but to me, with the standards of what succeeding can mean to different people, only that person can say they failed. These aspirations come from what inspire us and intrigue us about life, and if life has taught us anything, it's that nothing is out of reach.
