Today’s fortune cookie note reads:
“You are tasting the sweets of success.”
I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with the concept of success. This fortune cookie note bears a bit of significance to me as I got this one sometime after I started a new job. What I don’t like about the concept of success is how the media misconstrues it to mean “lots of money and toys.” What I like about success is the feeling of accomplishment I get when I succeed on my own terms, not what society dictates to me as the meaning of success. Though I may not have much money, I think I am a success with maintaining close relationships with the people I love. But, I still have other goals to accomplish.
