I think holding a job and owning a car doesnt mean you have amounted to anything at all, you just described most of the Western civilization.
I'd like to think that amounting to something means more than that, thats just getting through life.
When your gone, will you be remembered for anything.
Our Prime Minister earns a paltry $350,000 a year, peanuts in the CEO world.
She'll be remembered in History long after Mercedes driving 9-5 ers are long gone. I bet very few people can name the guy that runs the bank you work for Trent, he probably earns $10,000,000 a year, yet everyone knows the PM, or Brendon Fevola, Jim Stynes.
Money and possesions sure as hell dont mean you have amounted to something, it just means you got a job. Just like your dad and grandad did. And your neighbour, and the guy who pays you. And the kid at Maccas you give your coin to.
Also $55,000 when you were 18, around 14 years ago, is worth over $250,000 now I reckon.
I hope to be remembered and to have influenced some people, good or bad, long after after I'm gone.
Just my 2 dracmas
really? you measure how successful your life has been by what other people think of you? i wouldnt have expected that from you.
i agree that money and possessions arent everything but i certainly dont give a rats ass what a bunch of people ill never meet think of me. different strokes for different folks i guess. i bet the guy running that bank fucking loves his job and has probably provided his children with every possible opportunity to do whatever they want with their lives. if i can achieve those two things ill consider myself pretty successful.
