“Dear Kent: While you’re alive, maneuver faster than entropy. Mitigate bad luck and the inevitable decay of your efforts through discipline, aggression, and strategic thinking. Strive to honestly assess yourself and your environment, so you can increase your chances of perceiving the best way forward.”
—The part of myself that wants me to succeed.
Dirty Sci-Fi Buddha 
What do you see will be success?
I adore you, I’m sure I’m not alone. Obviously, success is more than adoration and your good looks you try to hide much of. Money? Piffle. You have talent to take you into whole new universes. You, Kent, are a success.

I would define success as fulfillment, I think. I’d like to keep waking up looking forward to my work, feel satisfaction from it even though it may be a pain sometimes, and then go to sleep feeling like I made progress. 🙂
