People don't play music so they can get the cheers of 60,000 fans a few times in their career if they are extremely lucky. They play alone, with friends, with family because they like music.
People don't write software like linux to get 6,000,000 likes they can bask in. They write software they need because they like writing software and need that software.
People are successful when they decide to be. Are you successful?

That is some sort of Politically correct thought where you give everybody participation trophies and everybody is successful (which means that nobody really is) Like everything there are metrics, Linus doesn't figure in any of the polls which ask people who they admire the most. Even those going down to #500. People like Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Larry Page, Sergey Brin...they all figure into those standings.
