    Success for me is seeing that my children have grown up to be happy with themselves as well as respectful and loving of those around them.The doing onto others as they would have done onto them attitude. Monetary issues do not enter the equation . A comfortable life style for them of course but wealth is fleeting nor can you take it with you . Nothing can give me the feeling of joy, pride , and contentment that I feel when I see how they have grown into the wonderful people that they are now............ Peace

    I want a job I enjoy, a healthy and happy family, and a modest income so I can enjoy my life without slaving away 80 hours per week. Many people believe in "most toys wins," but I'd much rather enjoy my life seeing all the great things this world has to offer and share it with my family.

    Good connections/relationships with people is the key to being successful. That is my belief.
