Ignore the haters, I loved this post. Everyone should be in a "growth" mentality.

It's been ok. Not sure I got out of it what I expected. There is some benefit to the community aspect here, but after being here for a couple days - I am still not thrilled about all the negativity.

For real. I admire OP's sentiment, but Sheldon fucking Adelson is on there, for gods' sakes.

Financial success is rarely measured by what you've collected... And life success is rarely measured by finances.

OK. How would you measure those things?

True success is only measured internally. And perhaps by God. I mean, you can discern what other peoples' levels of success are to figure out who's example to follow or not, but your assessment won't change that actual level of success, which again, would be internal to that person and their relation to the rest of the world. Too many factors to measure it.

Financial success is different. It's actually really easy for any model. More in than out. You can have levels of success, but success is long-term gain caused by cumulative, mostly positive, short-term changes.
