Success is what you make of it. If you did all that work and are still bitching, then the problem lies with you and you alone. Me, I'm happy with my income, job and life. If you are still scraping shit off the table to claim as your own and you make that amount of money... you got a problem.
No see, there is no problem with myself being unsatisfied with my current situation. This is how we progress and drive change.
I hang quotes like these on my wall so I don't become content like yourself;
"There are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction." JFK
"Of all things in life, fear complacency most."
"I refuse to tip-toe through life to arrive safely at death."
"Rule #76, No excuses, play like a champion."
"No one ever made it through life by simply being content."
"With ignorance and arrogance, success is assured." Mark Twain
"Conditions are never just right. People who delay action until all factors are favorable are the kind [of people] who do nothing."
"Use, do not abuse; neither abstinence nor excess ever renders man happy." Voltaire.
"You just have to ask yourself, is the juice worth the squeeze?"
I believe those things, I live those things. The last thing I want in this life is to look back and to say I could have been more successful but I didn't try harder. I still kick myself for not going to an Ivvy League school because I didn't get my shit together in High School. That burden falls on myself. Many other people would blame other causes.
Oh, and I must have smoked crack through my life and rode the government's coattails. Fuck you.
No, you smoked pot and played video games while I read, networked, and otherwise honed my skills.
Being successful in life takes hard work, dedication, and persistence. I don't expect to pick up a football and be Steve Young.
