I have yet to prove myself.

I am very close to graduating colllege, but I don't think that it's anything special. The proving grounds come when i move to Denver to start my company in March. I will not accept failure at this juncture, and will devote my life to becoming one of the most successful people that all of my friends and relatives know.

My life (or lack thereof) is a failure. Education. Finances. Job/career. Family. Soul mate. All in the shitter. But I must say in a wierd odd kind of way I'm actually enjoying where things are right now.

indeed. not many people are striving to make something of their lives these days. it's the usual routine... college > job > wife > kids > divorce. :D

I have a wonderful husband, and nice house, but I don't have more than I have. Meaning by this time I wanted more from my life. But only I can blame myself, as I believe I can achieve anything. I guess I am not motivated enough to strive for that. I think I am content with my stableness, and risk taking scares me. Without fear, my achievements would be endless. So I am not a failure of life, but a failure in risk. I am not a success in life, but a success in knowing that I am stable.

emo= emotional?, I believe it depends on each person individually but these catagories play a role in my book: social status, family status, personal career, contribution to society, and i think thats bout it =/

I have:

a wife of 11 years
4 kids
a nice home and land
A good paying job
Two nice cars

But because I never became a motocross racer, I consider my life a failure.

Eh, mediocre. I have a good job, renting a duplex by myself, and started a nice life savings.

I can't work at this job forever - there isn't much room for advancement and I'm getting bored with it. No college education so I'm not sure how far I will go if I decide to leave my current employer.
