This is a really good point and it is also related to Manfred's comment that I don't personally know how to reconcile with some of the points in the article. On one hand, I would like to have a lot of money because a lot of inconvenient things would suddenly become much easier. On the other hand, I would have to do other inconvenient things, like manage a lot of money. Also, I don't think I would be happy doing Oprah's job, even if it resulted in a lot of money. Basically, I would not mind lots of money but it is not currently a priority. So I don't know if I'm actually winning or not, oops.

Therefore, a poll!

How successful are you?

From a fame, money or bragging rights perspective, how ambitious are your current goals?

Personal (like fixing sleep cycle) Ambitious! (like being the next Zuckerberg/Oprah)
