hope u can write sth. in six months later. it's a little bit earlier to say sth. like that, for u get all of your information from the net, but not ' veçu'.
a man should be a backbone of his family, and courage must be a factor important to build a real man.
if possible, no man wants to a be a labourer.
but unfortunately, man has never been successful of being the master of his life. just like a verse in bible, ' l'homme, tiré du sol, ne se dirige pas de son pas.'
so, if a man, combining his perspectives and existing conditions in a harmonieus way, lead a life 'zen', and feel quietness and happiness in his interior, he has already been a successful man. a 'successful life' in his own eyes, defined only as regarding to his own conditions, concerned only his own spirit and heart, having nothing to do with other people.
