<p>So your ultimate purpose is money?</p>

<p>Or if it’s not, why even mention it in a response to a question about your ultimate purpose?</p>

82

<p>-to be me, stay me
-never hold grudges
-excell in music
-do my best in school
-live live to the fullest :)</p>

<p>because it would be a part of my purpose if i didn’t already have it covered. and because it’s an essential part of philanthropy, which i believe is part of my purpose.</p>

84

<p>^^what aspect of music?</p>

<p>I just realized trumpet was in your username…so trumpet?</p>

85

<p>So, if you didn’t have money, your ultimate purpose WOULD BE to have money?</p>

86

<p>Oh OK, you hadn’t made it clear that your dad makes so much money that you won’t even need to work… That COMPLETELY changes how I feel about you. </p>

<p>You were just saying, “Oh, I’ll make a lot of money, because father makes a lot of money, and of course I can make tons of money. But I’ll only drive an A6, those darned pieces of crap, because I’m so modest.” </p>

<p>Maybe we should just call it a draw, but I’ll put it as plainly as I can. I don’t like your sense of entitlement.</p>

87

<p>To inspire others using my ambition and insight. I’m a quiet leader and trendsetter, but people steal my ideas and thoughts.</p>

88

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s all you had to say. You didn’t have to bring in that you’ll make a lot of money because your dad did. If you say philanthropy, we can assume that you either have or will have money.</p>

<p>I posted this on a different thread to an answer to “What is success?” and because it was relevant, I’m just copying what I wrote there.</p>

<p>well, I want to:

  • develop a better sound or tone quality (trumpet wise)
  • develop a better range (trumpet wise)
  • practice singing more and getting a better range in that also (singing wise) </p>

<p>I’m in my church choir :)</p>

<p>That’s an excellent example of a successful writer, and I really admire your mother, but what I was trying to get at was that I’m not sure a stay at home environment is what I’m looking for. I’m not talking about money or success–I know several people, writers and otherwise, who make a very comfortable living from their home–but the environment of a workplace, of getting up and going to work, even if it’s an atypical situation like a foreign correspondent, appeals to me. Of course, we’ll see what happens when those kids come around…</p>

92

<p>^Okay, sorry if I misinterpreted!</p>

<p>I totally understand the appeal of a workplace…like, IDK what type of writer but working in a newspaper seems very cool with the workplace environment, among other things.</p>

93

<p>If only I knew.</p>

94

<p>I thought you were going to help people in need by becoming a psychologist.</p>

95

<p>That’s a possibility. That doesn’t mean that is my purpose in life though.</p>
