How is "success" being defined here? What constitutes "success"?

"Try not to become a man of success, but rather one of value"
Albert Einstein

"How is success being defined here"

Through truth there is education!

Isn't this a bit like saying..

The secret of a successful snooker player is..

a) To be better at snooker than anyone else
b) to practice more than anyone else
c) don't expect to be a good snooker player

Where (a) has already achieved what you were trying to achieve in the first place, and is therefore a catch 22.

williiam shakesphere

a) So you can teach
p) The greatest among us shall serve
c) So they can have more

Looking at this from another angle

a) Because they know less
p) So they work less
c) So they can have more

there is no essential definition to success. i also can't imagine progress really in relation to society's view on success. progress assumes we are getting closer to our final goal. would our final goal be true happiness? or is our finale just simply death? if it is, one cannot progress toward death through actions, but just through time. if it is through happiness, i think true happiness can only be achieved by means of absolute ignorance. thus, the pursuit of knowledge counteracts the pursuit of happiness.

we are dying the moment we are born.

A circular thought!

"I think true happiness can only be achieved by means of absolute ignorance, thus, the pursuit of knowledge counteracts the pursuit of happiness"

I agree with this concept, because I must be the most ignorant person alive, yet I have true happiness within. All I know is logical truth intuitively, this makes me happy, because I know the logical truth of something, otherwise, I'm purely ignorant of things I should know.

Truth is truth, ignorance is ignorance, ignorance of unknown truth is everyone's claim.

To know truth is to be educated, to be educated is to be self-disciplined, to be self-disciplined is to know thyself!

LOL. Some of your best work.

why you're laughing...it's just one of the ways which make the subject more Interesting.
Any way thanks for your posts.
Sorry about the mistake…"P” suppose to be “b”.
I would like to tell you that the English is not my language and that’s why I join in this forum and I’ve a lot of mistakes ….and I’ll Accept any notes from you about any mistake.

Thanks

Another golden words from william shakespear and this time it's a peom:


** Shall I compare**


Shall I compare thee to a summer's day
Thou art more lovely and more temperate
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May
And summer's lease hath all too short a dat
Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines
And often is his gold complexion dimmed
And every fair from fair sometimes declines
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest
Nor shall death brag thou wanderest in his shade
when in eternal lines to time thou growest
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see
So long lives this. and this gives life to thee

-tomas-
Neither is it mine. Those dang-nab English cohorts (esp. Shakespeare AKA Sir Francis Bacon) hijacked middle-English
and turned it upside down. The French didn't help matters much, from this side of the pond, anyways.


-A.R-
and that’s why I join in this forum and I’ve a lot of mistakes … .

Hey, the resident wordsmith** is most forgiving :-/

Even from a high school dropout?

PS - Eventually received GED and went on to 30-35 years of college (university) classes and taking a pre-law class at the moment.
A myriad of disciplines too numerous to mention at this time but history, geography, political sciences are long-term faves.

**A special thanks to Carl. Really :-)

one question: who's Carl???

-tomas-
His real name is Cain (Satan's firstborn child). In our first life after our mom [Eve] and my dad (Adam) were evicted from the Garden of Eden (for eating of the forbidden fruit), mom had to figure out where she was going to have us little critters. Adam had cut-and-run because he didn't have a clue about The Totality of it all (as he hadn't yet discovered the Genius Forum) She settled upon an area now commonly known as North Dakota, USA. I was due to be delivered first, but that old serpent pulled a fast one on mom .. and Cain (Carl) grabbed the umbilical cord and tried to strangle me in our shared cabin space (the oven) better known as The Womb. Well, I managed to fend off his evil ways...

...but then mom had some serious birth pangs happening (don't know for sure what that was all about- considering I was gonna be the firstborn human from dust-to-dust), her water broke, hence the Great Flood that managed to flood the first tepee (lean-to) that mom had to construct by her lonesome. The story goes that this event happened early on July 25th, and I was gonna be born at 1:01PM, (daylight savings time of course). And remember that the calendar had yet to be invented, much less the argument over how many days there are in a year but anyways, by this time Adam had been following her trail up to South Dakota then was floated back downstream to Nebraska. It had been an early spring and the snowpack from Montana was melting rather quickly and Adam hadn't learned how to swim properly (mainly how to time his breathing) and kept going under, the current was 15,000 gallons per second at his location and he was lodged on a sandbar for a week or so.

Rumor has it that every 150 years or so, the lake develops a "plug" at its very bottom and it expands its water area by several times, as it is presently doing and much of the "drain water" empties into the Mississippi gulf in Louisiana (so says the original Native Indians). Not only that, but they believe they sprang from Spirit (devils) Lake. Eventually it overflows into the James River then to the Red River of the North and drains into Hudson Bay, Canada. That was a good spot to drop Carl (Cain) off as he was in a rather sordid mood.

Eve?-where wouldst thou drop me 10 pounds of fetal matter that I may grow into a human being with all the frailties of a naturalized US citizen? The old Mandan Indian woman suggested we may be able to encamp on the bottomlands of the Missouri River during the last snowmelt runoff of the first day of the last week of July. That evil creature (sex unknown) "Carmel-Loki-Nick," knows I'll be born around high noon Daylight Savings Time, so precautions will be taken to have a posse of Hidista & Arikara Natives around to fend off that dastardly vermin created by some supposedly, well-intentioned scientist, with the initials R.R. and who happens to reside up Canadian thistle-way.
