We have all seen people work, and strive, to reach some goal, fame, money, notoriety, etc. and invariably as soon as they make it, most self destruct!  Right now in Oklahoma, we have many, many, people literally destroying themselves chasing the jack pot at the end of the rainbow, in all these Cacinos! ! As a kid, my dad had us boys, literally chasing the end of the rainbow, looking for a pot of gold, running all over the farm, to keep us occupied I guess, so he could get a some work done. We never found it! I finally found success, I'm 76 I think, and have figured out, success is not material things, but a state of mind, We live simply, have enough to pay our bills, and eat, have kids, grandkids, and great grandkids, that like us, and are good honorable human-beings, and self suppliant. and are quite capable of taking care of them-selves! So like George Burns once said, " anyday I wake up, is a  good day!" We just set in the peanut gallery and WATCH what happens, and let the young people take care of their own business, and love them win, lose, or draw!</p></blockquote><p></p>
