<p>Which one would you choose. It seems to be a really easy question for me, but i am curious.</p>
<p>Extremely rich, great accomplishments, praise and awards from peers (pulitzer prize, fields medal, nobel prize), etc. </p>
<p>or </p>
<p>Finding your soulmate without the stuff mentioned above; living in mediocrity.</p>
<p>Probably the first one, not out of shallowness but because I want to contribute something to the world other than a bunch of babies. It’s not like I’d have to forego happiness if I chose success, either, and honestly I feel like the principle of “bros before hoes” applies here, ya’ll know mmm mhm</p>
<p>I would choose extreme success because the more money I make, the bigger difference I could make in the world. I could give more money to charity and possibly even create my own foundation.</p>
<p>wow, i thought the answer was obvious but i guess i was mistaken… i would have chosen true love. Sounds corny but i defer to Carl Sagan for my reasoning: "For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love. "</p>
<p>Extreme success. I’m obsessed with money and big accomplishment. You can always pay someone to love you lol.</p>
<p>Extreme success. True love doesn’t pay the bills.
'Sides, I have no romantic ambitions as it is and don’t envision developing any.</p>
<p>Success! Plenty of people have found their “true love” but success is something special, something that will make a difference.</p>
<p>Extreme Success.</p>
<p>I do what I love, so if I do well in what I love, then that’d be great!</p>
<p>^That’s the spirit! Marry your job. It gives far more pleasure than human interaction ever could.</p>
<p>Extreme Success!</p>
<p>so i am the only one that’ll opt out for love? woah</p>
<p>TRUE LOVE. Mediocrity can easily be changed, plus… you can help people out by volunteering.</p>
<p>
Mediocrity is the natural state of being for most of us.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Or assuage your conscience.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Better cure that swine flu first or you might have to have to opt for success instead :)</p>
<p>Extreme success. Hands down.</p>
<p>Alright - choosing love seems less shallow, right? More in touch with human values…heart-felt…meaningful etc. In fact choosing love is selfish. </p>
<p>Yep, that’s right. Who are you helping when you find true love? Yourself and (maybe) that one other person. Who are you helping if you start a business, cure a disease, become a doctor, write a great piece of literature etc.? Everyone. You may find self-satisfaction but, overall, it makes a bigger impact on the world. </p>
<p>People can choose love if they so wish, but I think that we should perceive actions and purposes in life differently. Even people who wish for success may think that their path is “shallower” (21stcenturyfinny) so think about it 
don’t choose your goals based on society’s perception of it (though you guys seem to be doing a good job of that already)</p>
<p>How about extreme success at doing it with the one I love. :)</p>
<p>Love. Easy. </p>
<p>I love this forum, but sometimes I feel like the people here just don’t get it. Really, guys? Success over love? It kinda just seems like a no-brainer to me…</p>
<p>I don’t even consider myself a romantic, still I prefer love. Besides I don’t really want random extreme success, normal success is fine with. Extreme love though? Heck yeah.</p>
<p>I would probably say love… but let me put it this way:</p>
<p>I want to be happy with my life once it’s over; whether it’s because I was successful or because I found true love. From what I can tell of my current potential, I think I’ll be more likely to find true love than success (as the OP described it). Regardless, my life won’t matter in the long run… [YouTube</a> - The Known Universe by AMNH](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17jymDn0W6U]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17jymDn0W6U)</p>
