Hmm… But I would have a couple of questions: Why we need somebody to define our success? And Why we need to be successful in the first place?
I think a lot of people forget today that the Success is in fact just – a Mean, not the Goal itself.
Few days ago Fabienne was bringing into my attention a nice poem:
” If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings – nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – which is more -
you’ll be a Man my son! ”
Rudyard Kipling

Right-O then, chap. Not incredibly aggressive, you usually like to lounge back on your lawn, have a cup of tea (or whatever), and enjoy a game of croquet and a nice chit-chat. Afterwards, you might enjoy a nice drive in the Rolls. Thankful to be separated by water from the rest of annoying Europe, you only pull out the guns when its time to save the world again. A bit of a control freak, you like to have jurisdiction over things, even when they are at a distance. Overall, however, you are extremely well-balanced. Well, ta-ta for now then!
You scored 20% on Warlike, higher than 26% of your peers.
You scored 40% on Spartan Living, higher than 26% of your peers.
You scored 56% on Socialist, higher than 43% of your peers.

Quite funny isn’t it ?
… but to be honest, I would prefer a Scandinavian country :p
How about you?
Alex: “Simon tu de ce parte esti din pct. de vedere religios?”
Simon: ” Depinde din ce parte privesti Alex ![]()
Ateii m-ar acuza ca sunt creștin. Creștinii ( sau adeptii altor religii ) m-ar acuza că sunt pur și simplu un eretic, sau in cel mai bun caz – un agnostic. Agnosticii mi-ar reproșa ca sunt prea “teist” iar “teiștii” – că sunt prea ”metarialist – dialectic” și prea puțin ”mistic” pentru ei. Și tot așa

Beyond the seas I navigate toward your sunny face,
over millions and millions of darkly waves.
Beyond the pain
I let myself sliced in pieces
by cutting chilly Storms and your mighty Nemesis.
I searched for your Graceland, dreaming to anchor in the Harbor of Meaning.
But what have I found instead?
An Ocean of Emptiness
screaming!
The Questions imprisoned in Mental Institutions
While the Answers slaughtered in oblivion dissolutions.
The entire world programmed for a modern slavery,
As - being yourself – became an eccentric bravery.
۞
Look into the sky and see the sings of the spell
A Dark Eve is coming!
And it’s clouded into a rotten smell.
The gods of this world are already on the road.
Hungered for blood and for the Power rod.
But who am I to give you the prod?
Me, just a simple imaginary friend
of a Shadow-God!?!

Simon ( September 2009)
I recommend the reading of the poem with the following audio background: “Black God”
Band: My Dying Bride. Song: Black God (no image, just the sound in the dark)
Lyrics of ”Black God” song:
” Thy every look and every grace
so charm whenever I view thee,
’til death overtake me in the chase
still will my hopes pursue thee
Then when my tedious hours have past,
be this my last blessing given
low at thy feet to breathe my last
and die in sight of heaven.”
Cred că trec printr-o fază de nostalgie :p Am început să reascult muzica anilor ‘90. Muzica anilor adolscenței mele. Un exemplu: Gala
GALA – Let a boy cry
”I pass through noise and silence, I walk alone
It’s a beautiful day, it’s raining and it’s cold
Reflected onto the wet pavement, can you see what I see?
The trembling image of my eyes that are still free
And they say silver, I choose gold
I’m not afraid to be alone
Someone will judge his gentle soul
Let the boy cry and he will know
And they say silver I choose gold
I’ve never done as I’ve been told (…)”
GALA – Come into my life
”Riding backseats on night highways
Dark spaces white lights through the window
I’m moving too fast through my life
While the moon remains constant in the sky
The night is holding its breath
Inside in silence I’m dead,
But if I make it until tomorrow
I know that my fear will be gone
And so I’m waiting for the morning to come
Come, come, come into my life
Come, come, stay with me
Nobody loves me, nobody loves me enough
Enough to save me, oh no (…) ”
”O călătorie în jurul lumii cu familia. Mama, Tata, Matei (7 ani 1/2), Vlad (4 ani 1/2) și Ilininca (14 luni).”
”Ilinca, întotdeauna surprinzătoare și gata să plece, cu condiția să fie cu mama, tata, Matei și Vlad. O încântare.
Vlad vrea să mângâie bebeluși de pinguini, chiar și de crocodili dacă nu-l mănâncă. Este poetul nostru. Are capul în stele…
Matei este curajosul cetei. Vrea să vadă și să încerce tot. Încântat de perspectiva călătoriei. Are picioare pe pământ…
Marilena și Dan, mama 38 ani și tata 39 vor să profite cât de mult de bucuria de a trăi împreună. Marilena este ilustratoare, Dan este arhitect dar unicul proiect care ni se pare esențial este proiectul vieții, familia. Ceea ce copiii își vor aminti, natura, descoperirile, întâlnirile. ”
