I like what you say in the first paragraph, never thought of it that way. When I was younger I never wanted to win anything. I thought the 4th place would be the perfect place - you get no medals for that. Now I can't, for the life of me, remember why I thought that way. But the succeeding thing is weird. It is impossible to assess whether a life has been lived the right way. One can't win at life. Yet there is such a social phenomenon as being successful. As opposed to enjoying life or fulfilling one's personal criteria. Go figure. I didn’t know that about you.
