Yes but the most important thing is to be happy, if you don't like what you do it doesn't matter how much you make... I'd choose happiness over money every time.

There's no mention of money in the chart.

I think the lesson here is that if there's an iceberg between you and success, stay on the boat and go around it. It's too much trouble to try to swim under it.

I think the Titanic tried both

Excellent visual for folks that may be impatient for status or material things. They see someone with a beemer and a Daytona, and really want that. But, don't see all that went into getting there.

Hey I've always heard the percentages are a little more dramatic...


Every successful person I know has been driven to be successful, being successful or being number one was the goal, not a piece of the pie or a feeling of being one of the pack, but a drive to be numero-uno

You were correct anyway. Success is only defined as money, if that's one's choice. If one's goal is to be happy and that goal is realized, that's success in the highest order in my book. Happiness can take many forms.
