The dictionary definition of success says something like "An event that accomplishes its intended purpose." So each person's own definition will vary. What I consider successful is probably a lot different than that of the homeless drug addict that finally gets back on his feet, lands a job at Wal-Mart, and finally is able to rent an apartment. To me, the most obvious measure of success is of course visible in public and is usually accompanied by conspicuous wealth.

Okay, does anyone in here see what is happening?
I've caught Lubaolong in another lie.
He refuses to answer my questions, and it is quite obvious that he's a total liar.
He was never accepted to medical school, he never even applied to medical school, and he's completely full of it...
So full of it...
You are a liar, and you know it.
I'm done here.
You're a liar, and you're not worth my time.

interesting. how does it feel to know your success is measured only by the unsuccesses of others? I am interested, Luba, what is personal success to you? I mean to ask:success in moral, spirituality and character. It is very interesting that you neglected that--i suspect it was not mere forgetfulness.

You cannot rationally conclude he is lying because he is being silent. This is called the argument from silence.

This exact same thing has happened about half a dozen times. You would think he would learn by now. Maybe after he runs his mouth for a few months I'll scan in my acceptance letter. Probably not.

My success is measured by accomplishing what I set out to do. There are always winners and losers in life. You can't dismiss what someone has done just because others have lost.

This is not a proper response to what i claimed. No one is dismissing you but rather your success, like the failures of others, are defined only by their binary oppositions. Moreover, i reference personal success like that of moral, spirtitual, etc because it does not require the failures of others to be a success. I think you ought to think about that.
I find your philosophy to be a problem within society and yet you think you are the cream of the crop. How interesting.
