What's your philosophy?
Sometimes I think it's knowing when to kick butts and when to kiss them.
To find what makes you happy and do it.
Of course there's also that classic advice: there are two keys to success, one is don't tell everything you know. ;-)
If I knew, I wouldn't be on SSDI
Someone could also join the mafia, since it's the only job I can think of where if you fail you often wind up with room, board, and security for life.
not letting anyone but me define what success is.
