Have you lived or are you just living ?

Quote from Gcapman:

That is precisely why not everyone can be a truly successful person (I'm speaking monetary terms only right now --- spiritual success is a completely different story.........)

Some people burn their hands touching the open fire.......and keep burning themselves.....

It's the ones who burn themselves real badly, learn their lessons and create a way to profit on utilizing that very same open fire that wounded them previously....

This is not something everyone is capable of doing.....

"I just want to make my parents truly proud of me before their time is up......
Being a good son is tougher than being a good trader"

That's what really sucks.........biggest regret of my life....so far

I still have time....I can get married and have kids so that they can at least have fun with their grandkids......

I think that would make them proud of me.......

If you got married and have kids, then you can't have that near-death experience anymore, since you need to be healthy to take care of your kids.

You might have to pick one or the other. lol

what would make them proud?
 
Quote from T_Geithner:

quite the opposite, I always feel like I have done everything in life, if there is anything I really want to do I will just do it, so I don't really have a wish list

my sons were and are the best things that happened to me, I spend most of my money and time on them, there isn't anything that even comes second

Good points that your wealth is in your children. The old lady may go bat-shit crazy when she hits her forties, but your kids are forever.
 
Quote from Gcapman:

Only way to truly live is to have faced death....or near death

Just like the only way to truly succeed is to have failed utterly miserably.....

Suffering is the first step to realizing your life's ambitions

Only those who are truly destined to be great know what I am talking about

-sigh-

You touched a nerve with me on that one as I not only have the guts to "pull the trigger" on life altering risk, but have also faced the consequences of failure to less than zero, which included the pleasure of being 'on the stand' getting drilled by attorneys for hours at a time (what a rush and 'I' kicked their asses!). Great failure hurts immensely but the future vision afterwards, at least with me, holds achievements greater than previously conjured. Something so much larger than the former.
