I didn’t imagine that your idea would have been different since, after all, it is what you strive to get people to do through so many of your posts. I believe you’re correct.

That being said, success in any of these areas will be different for each person based on what is most important to them. However, achieving that success - the achievement of what makes them happy, feel financially secure and successful, etc. will require them to make choices along the way to get them there. There is no written code that spells it out, no specific roadmap to achieve individual “success”. Therefore, critical thinking comes into play. You must through education, exercise of judgment, trial and error, and experience find your way to your success.

Success I s not measured the same by everyone. We see some who are inordinately rich in tangible things, money, prestige, power, but we are not all designed for that to be our “happy place”. Uh oh, I just brought God into it! We are all created differently, and there He is again. This world would be such a boring place without our diversity. Isn’t that fun? He gave us a world where everyone is different, cultures are different, desires are different, abilities are different. And it’s ok to be different. In fact, it’s good to be different.

Dixie: I agree with what you wrote. I did not say that all of those things shoud be important, but was just asking for people to consider what their priorities are. After they are clear on that is it amazing how many of them can be improved on with one thing: applying Critical Thinking.
