Please Me

I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure, which is: try to please everybody. - Herbert S. Swope

Yep. Which is why I really hate everybody everyonce in a while.

Success scares me. But only because I am never really sure if my gauge for success/failure is working properly. When comparing it to other people's gauges it never matches.

So should I stop comparing, or just purchase a properly tuned success/failure gauge?

I hope I could afford to buy such a gauge. Or maybe it just takes hard work and I'll earn it. Maybe if I were less selfish, or more selfish. Or if I knew what I really wanted.

I'm thinking like a loser, aren't i?

Dear Thinking:

Uuuum. Where did you purchase said gauge? Is it a trustworthy source? A properly tuned gauge? By whose estimation? And can you really afford what the Big Boys call the "True Cost" of that? You know, Thinking, I thought I saw one in the Christmas window at Gumps once, turns out a kitten had missed the litterbox. Hope that helps.

Cheers,
