Good examples but you must know that there is no one CORRECT path to life. Even if someone else followed the exact same paths and decisions you had is not a guarantee to yielding the same results.

No knock on you and I congratulate how well you're doing, but I laugh a little when I hear people with success stories say.... "If only you did this... this... this..."


Does one ever consider that they did? Or perhaps that they followed another model of paths to success (perhaps from their parents, friends, etc) and did not yield the result desired?
