Sucess or value?

[Hetzer]

Einstein:

"Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value."

Define "value".

Success is personal, value is placed on you by other people.

You can be valued, but you can't be succssed...

I'm reminded of the terrible 'climb the ladder to success' joke, you know, the one that ends with a massive gaylord introducing himself with the words 'Hi, I'm Cess'.

There's room for one more in the Zombie Survival Bunker. Do you let in Einstein or Hetzer?

To make it harder, neither of them have brought their stash.

Both are totally subjective, which makes them pretty difficult to define.

[Frost]

I thought success was intangible, but value had usable worth?
So the world nose picking champion has success, but no value. A competent mechanic has value but is unlikely to ever be successful.
Of course you have to aim to be successful at gaining value

[D O G]

Who determines what is valuable? Keith made some lengthy points on this in the thread about buying Gold.

[Visitor Q]

success = succeed = come out on top

value = use = useful

Ie, it's better to be useful than come out on top.

In the corporate cock gobbling it may not be true, but in real life, useful trumps everything.

value = valued = appreciated

Is the alternative/extra meaning, thus it's better to be appreciated than come out on top.

All very true. Success is worthless without value.

Success is selfish.

Value is not.


Depending on your personality, you could be happy with either. I'd rather be successful (i.e. rich) than valued, I couldn't give too much of a fuck how useful I am to other human beings.

Thanks for writing what I couldn't be arsed to write myself!

[Hetzer]

So we've established that Einstein wasn't quite the genius he was cracked up to be. The perils of over-specialisation I guess.
