Point noted and thank you.

Thanks for the great feedback here. Noted it and will act on it. Unfortunately I can't do that until Monday as the person who can fix it won't be available until then :(

The popup was not a gatekeeper and you can easily switch that off without signing up to the newsletter. Having said that, I have made a note of the feedback on the popup and will take action to fix that. Thanks.

Thanks for the comments. The "C'est la vie" comment was specifically about another comment which focussed on things totally outside the article - like newsletter sign up etc. I will definitely think about your comment and discuss it with my

Thanks for the clarification. Looking at the discussion here itself is a validation for the article at some level. It is a simple article presenting conclusions from a series of interviews with reasonably smart people. The conclusions are b

Thanks for the note. Will get the popup fixed soon.

The article never states these are the only two options. I don't know why that conclusion is being drawn. But everyone has a right to their opinion so I can't stop people from making their own assumptions :)

Thanks for all the feedback about the popup. Will get that fixed right away. I am not tech-savvy enough to fix it myself so it has to be on Monday :( Cheers.

Amen to that. Friends sometimes try to bring that up only to be shot down instantly with some smart rationalization. Thanks.

You definitely bring up a very good point. I should phrase it properly. Yes, their own problems are problems they haven't solved - when in fact, they could have solved them. If their "unsolved problems" were brought to them by someone else,

You could try that yourself by simply discussing a problem someone is facing. If they are stuck, ask them for a potential solution and see how quickly they will tear up that solution by over-analyzing the problems with the suggested solutio

OK the term "mini-research" refers to research done in less than six weeks and the method used was a series of interviews. I am not selling the research data only presenting the conclusions from the research. You are welcome to make your ow

Point noted. None of the items you mentioned ( newsletter sign up, eBooks ) are required to access the content on the blog. In fact, none of the eBooks require you to enter an email address. I am sad to see that you focused on these things

The article was written based on a series of interviews. Smart people don't fool themselves by ignoring the problem or acting as if the problem does not exist. Most people know that the problem exists but they also know all the other things

May be true. That is all the more reason really smart (and not lazy) people to move to the top and displace the powerful and useless people. Don't you think that would be an answer?

As others have pointed out here, you will be the best judge of what a good life is. The article was referring to your "increased capacity to contribute to the world." That may not be your interest or you may be doing it a whole different wa

Thank you. For those that are ultra-curious about this, please make it a point to read "The Biology of Belief" by Bruce Lipton. Quick summary there is - "Garbage in; Garbage Out." :)

Yes I agree that one should "follow their heart" to go somewhere. One thing to remember is that as the "awareness" of what is possible with their potential changes, their heart will start yearning for reaching that potential. So, who you ar

Any chance you can provide some references. Would like to dig deeper on this one.

Success and family need not be mutually exclusive but yes, family comes first :)

On your last comment - copy that jister. Yes, nobody has the right call anyone anything actually. My apologies if I hurt anyone's feeling. There is no need to take anything personally :)

OK owyn. Please take care and have fun with your code tomorrow

Yes, that choice is always there. One can always say that it is best to simply make "their world" better. No one can force other person to "contribute." It is voluntary but the point of the article is to trigger some thinking so that a few

Owyn, I couldn't reply to your last reply as there was no reply option there :( Yes, you are welcome to be angry and be pessimistic or in whatever mood you choose to be. And it's OK to disagree too. I never claim to know all the answers any

Why not change the names in your fun trick and look at Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. They also went somewhere and left us inspired :) It is up to you to choose where you want to focus on, right?

by rajesh301 17y ago
Of course..there is no motivation to judge and compare people. The tone of the article (and the discussion in the comments) makes it clear that it is our responsibility to live to our full potential - leading to some "extra capacity" that w

Owyn, the article was not focused on "richness" from a money perspective. Success simply meant you have an "increased capacity to contribute to the world around you."

by rajesh301 17y ago
Lunaru, there is a discussion in the comments section in the blog about the kind of success ( "increased capacity to contribute to the world around you" ) I could not move those comments to the main post just to keep the post to a reasonabl
