I want to be most successful... Professionally.

I have lots of debt. Having lots of debt makes you a slave. I don't want to be a slave the rest of my life.

Emotionally sounds so gay... but since I do believe the most important part of life is to enjoy it, I guess that's what I'll go with.

I would say emotional, but more from a personal perspective and not from a family perspective.

Intellectually/Professionally. I love learning new stuff. We have brains. I want to use it to the fullest extent

Since this is about how we feel, and not how other people would rate us, then I believe the only correct answer is emotionally. Stereotypical example to support my case: business executive who "loses everything" - multimillionaire who loses more than 50% of his net assets overnight thanks to a stupid business move - and then goes on to commit suicide. Even after losing a lot, that person still has a higher social status & living in a higher class than 80% or more of the general public, still has his trophy wife, and most people would still consider him to be successful in business. Yet, he doesn't see it that way & offs himself.

Well here's a case for being socially successful. To know and have people behind you in good times and bad makes one emotionally fulfilled. So then wouldn't it be better to be socially successful if it means you will have connections to just about anyone for any situation?

Good point, it's always good to have the support, even when you're feeling down.

Don't really know.

Emotionally - I dont really know since I don't keep in touch with family, and probably won't ever have one myself.

Socially - I have one friend and we don't really hang out ever.

Spiritually - lol religion.

Professionally - I like my job a lot, but don't really place value on it.

My life fucking sucks.
