Success or failure?

I must admit - I seldom buy magazines, books or newspapers. I prefer their e-version with the advantages that come with them: you can explore what you are reading, interconneting the information with other data in the net, and, yes, it is cheaper (free! sometimes).

However, when I travel, from time to time, I do buy something for enternaiment or just out of curiosity. After ages, I've bought an edition of NewsWeek and, not sure if the quality came back (last times I've read, quality was pretty down), or I was lucky, but reality is it was a very good edition (September 20, 2010).

Among the many interesting stories and articles, one drawn my attention. I've read it before as our Colombian main newspaper (El Tiempo) has talked about it before, but it was good to read again.

Julia Baird question the topic of success, helping us to redefine that word. And it really resonates with me a lot.

If I look with the world's glasses, I will find my whole life as failure, as I am going quick as a bullet-train towards the 50s. But, I feel good, I have so much to give and I have a full schedule. Always a full schedule.

So, who is really successful? Is it the guy with the best cell phone, best car, living in the best part of the town? Or is success something so internal that any attempt to measure it from the outside can just create a deep sense of disillusion.

I invte you to read the article and to share your view. You are probably more successful than you've thought. Bye.
