I'm going to guess that lostnet is saying that it is easier to be remembered for doing something wrong than for doing something right, although I'm not sure wha

  Guess so. It certainly seems easier to get notoriety - at least for a short time - by doing something significantly hurtful to people (e.g. die in a violent blaze of glory while mass murdering others, like the recent incident in Newtown, CT). However, I agree that this isn't necessarily useful information for someone who has an innocent question about feeling like a loser.

    The point I was trying to make is that trying to be at the top in one area instead of comfortable in all areas of your life is really not the sign of a person with a healthy self image and often a sign of someone to avoid at a personal level, who is probably not a helpful to their own family. I'm not big on the heros thing. But the people I looked up to as a child they were people who could fix their own house, show me how to use physics to rescue a lost toy, etc. When I think of "successful" people like Henry Ford or even John Kennedy, I think how great it is to be unrelated to the rich and famous. I wont even touch the tech rich by name. But yes, I feel the same way about them... If you make more than those around and have more social status and you still aren't happy then ask yourself what those around you have not how to get more of what isn't helping.
