Re: Billionaire nails it:
Well said, Rob. I think that anyone who has made a difference (for the good), irrespective of whether they are famous or anonymous are successful.
I have been a civil servant for close on 35 years in a very specialised department. I have had the privilege of working with people who are dedicated, single-minded, stubborn, skilled and have collectively made an absolutely enormous difference to society, yet will never have their efforts recognised other than by their peers. That does not bother them in the slightest. It is more a vocation than a job. I am proud to have been able to do my bit with them.
Having said that, I could not be a teacher, or a nurse. No way. i just have not got it in me. Society could not do without these unsung heros. I take my hat off to you all.
The measurement of success in purely monetary terms is the most shallow measure.
