Many say that happiness is the main quality of success. So what? I think happiness is a primitive state of being linked to primitive emotions. Actually I agree with this, but it is human nature to be discontent. Point being, that we must constantly find peace, and by no fault of ours. My goal is not concentric to such an idea. big word I want to transcend my mind. Oh, you mean peter principal? or...just a personal satisfaction by setting personal goals and challenging yourself. When will you arrive? I want to experience something beyond base symbolism. Sociology teaches us that cultures can effect values. To strive to rise above accepted levels is understood. Transmitting and receiving is a start, Believing and wanting have nothing to do with it other than outward appearance. Growth will come through experience Michael B.
So it was used as an example for explaing my ideas about success. I mean preternatual. I want more than what society has to offer me. I want more than what I think is available. I want to get beyond the banality of life. Arrive? Sociology taught me other things as well. My philosophy: life is pointless but also worthwhile, I choose my roles and play them with sincerity as if they're meaningfull, yet I always know that they're also meaningless no matter how emotional I become about them. My art is about the meaninglessness which is also worthwhile. I make fun of myself yet at the same time I show the poetry and passion I notice in life.
Ok. I will try. Michael B. P.S. Thank you for teaching me about elipses. I never dreamed...here on ET. Michael B. You should seriously reconsider who is the teacher and who is the student. I think you're confused about which role to play. I thank you for attempting to teach me, but maybe you should ask questions that you need answering. I know more than you think I know.
thank you, but please note that those generalizations are only some of the things I enjoy thinking. And that my likes change sporadically.
Now, to exercise my first question, Rowenwood. I understand if you do not have the time to answer. But if you please, Do you think that a space between each dot of a three-dot elipse is correct? Let me illustrate: ... . . . Michael B.
Thank you. I have a few questions: Is it wrong to feel happy when trading? Should I feel guilty if I make money as a hobby? Can I be a failure but be good at trading even if I am happy? If I get the piece of paper from the University and know all the wrong people, does it matter? If I am a high school grad am I successful? Could I focus on what I believe to be correct and be wrong? Can an elipse be used in the beginning of a sentence or incomplete sentence? Could trading just be data entry? Could trading not be creative, challenging or stimulating and if it is, are you just gambling? Michael B.
