Off-topic, but ...
Many normal people are super racist, so, Henry Ford does indeed qualify as a super-successful normal person.
My meta-point, of course, is that while excellence and the desire to achieve it (along with a bit of glory) can be admirable, success in life - in living your life, a good life - is wildly different from the famous people - any of them - whom society presents as a "success."
I'd rather be healthy and have meaningful, healthy relationships and "unsuccessful" than unhealthy and "successful" - and, I think that's _real_ success!
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoI guess it was off-topic and hopefully that was why you got downvoted, and not because people didn't want to be reminded about Henry Ford's racism but who knows. Anyway I didn't downvote, have upvoted now to make up for it even though I'm kind of a judge people by the standards of their time type re Ford's morality. I'm sort of tired of people downvoting for what seem frivolous or personal reasons.
