Success
Success is only in my eyes, not in the eyes of the world. Though I’ve never accumulated very great riches, published a thousand books, never got a PhD, the Nobel Prize, won a world championship, toured the world, … That’s not what I call success.
Even though I only succeeded to publish my letters almost unnoticed in small corners of not well known news papers, build me a humble home page, exercise, conduct an amateur church choir of aged, musically uneducated members, take care of my Volley Club of boys and girls, or suppose I just live in a bamboo hut, …
I’m successful, honorable only in my eyes. I am awarding myself awards.
“I have a little purse with gold which I owe, give thanks to no one” says a poet.
Success? That’s my purse with a bit of gold in it, which I earned myself.
