I'm sure people don't <br>even need to be on their death beds before they realize that they <br>never really tapped their true potential. That's the stuff mid-life <br>crisis' are made of.

But I think you bring up a really great point here, that I love: everyone's version of success is different. Personally, I feel like success to me is touching and improving as many lives as I can, living a life as a truly good and genuine person, living life being authentic to myself, following my passions, and always making sure my loved ones know I care about them. I also care about success in terms of being known for something and becoming an expert in a certain field. But more important than fame, I'd say if I was on my deathbed I would want to know that I made an impact on peoples' lives while following my passions.

I do think that many people strive for “fame” and “fortune” but how does it matter how you're remembered AFTER you're gone? Isn't it more important to worry about how the people who are alive right now know you and remember you? And thus aren't persona relationships important?

There are so many questions that arise from this, but I think you added an excellent point.
