Prompt #
61 - Success
To me,
success means happiness. I wrote about it as a first assignment for
Mr. Murray in Grade Nine and got a poor mark for an uninspired /
uninspiring response. Now fifty years later, I still feel the same.
You know that old joke. What's a nice girl like you doing in a place
like this? Answer: Just lucky, I guess. In other words, happiness is
simply choosing to look at things in a positive way.
I
consider myself to be successful because I have the luxury of living
where I choose and doing what I want. I spend my hours each day doing
only what I want - writing, creating, reading, socializing. If I
wanted a different kind of life, I would act to get what I want. I
live in my dream house, in one of the most beautiful spots in the
world. Surrounded by a symphony of flowers. To me, flowers =
happiness = success.
