I thought this might be an interesting subject, especially if probed a little more deeply that how much money you make and/or how many cars that can do more than 180mph you have.

Personally I measure it in terms of happiness, so if you really need an XJ220 to be happy AND you've actually got one, then that's success, but only as long as you have all the other things needed, like good health, family that loves you etc.

Here's another aspect to the question, what about if you are really successful for thirty-five years, then it all turns to st for five years, is that better than having an average life for forty years? IOW, is it where you end up that matters, or how well you do getting there?
