    Do you ever watch a sport/movie and think....
    DAMN...WTF am I doing with my life.

    I am 20 years old, 5'9'' weighing 135 pounds. A junior in college w/ a 3.325 overall GPA. For me, I am successful in my life and what I am doing.

    Then, I watch the movie, The Social Network. The movie about facebook. Obv. I am no genious at Harvard or good at writing code. But this dude is worth over $50 billion. At age what 22 he was designing this. CRAZY.

    Then you watch sports and guys in college at 6'6 275 and huge guys. Ready to be in the pros at basketball, football or whatever sport.

    I'm not upset that at all at my life at all.

    But, I do think DAMN, imagine if you were one of those guys. What a different life we would be living.

      it is not a success to be 5'9 and 135 lbs. you are lucky indian chicks like skinny white boys.

      also that GPA will plummet by next term.

      are u still coming up to Montreal next summer?

          Sammy that guy has 50 billion but do you think he is happy? He wakes up every morning and goes to work and sits in meetings all day and who knows what time he goes home at night. Being in corporate America is a very stressful job.

            ya until he turns 30 and retires with 50 billion.

              Sam: you're a likeable young man. Just keep "DO WORK" and you'll have a nice life. You'll succeed if you stick that. You seem like you're on track for an admirable life. You're young,you have the world in your hands. It's what path that you choose that will define you.

              DO WORK

                It can't be that stressful when you're the guy on top calling all the shots, can it? Not to mention he's probably doing something that he loves.

                  I'm sure he's happy. I mean he isn't forced to run the company. If it weren't something he enjoyed, I don't think he'd be doing it. Also, the way facebook is run isn't like a normal business. He makes it relaxed and he has hired guys way smarter than he is to create the codes. Trust me, zuckerburg is happy.

                      This may be the dumbest post of the year.

                        I used to think that way, but I guess with time and maturity, I'm no longer affected by it. Life is what you make of it. Look at what SBR John did with his dream - he created SBR, and I'm sure he's not hurting for money. Plus he lives in Costa Rica, which is always a good thing.

                        I consider myself successful. I'm married with a baby boy on the way, and I live in Costa Rica. I'm a freelance web designer/programmer, so I work from home (no boss), and I'm on the computer all damn day long, so I get to enjoy one of my hobbies (gambling). I'm an hour from the beach, and about 30 minutes from some of the most beautiful mountains and rainforests that I've ever seen.

                        All in all, life is good. I don't think that anybody is wasting their life away because they're not a millionaire by 25. You're looking at such a minute percentage of the entire world's population that has even reached millionaire status in their entire lifetime.

                          Look at Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. They go to work every day in their 60's. Steve Jobs has been having health problems for years. He just took a medical leave again. These people have billions but they can't sleep at night knowing that the Windows 7 might fail ot the Ipad might not sell.

                              True, that's a good point. But what if they just love what they do? I would imagine that it wouldn't be a job to them then.

                                Depends on where you live in the states. Looks like there's 15 states that let you gamble at 18.
