Do not necessarily strive to be a SUCCESS.
Rather, aim to be of great VALUE.
Ergo, it's a "QUALITATIVE-analysis":
VALUE > SUCCESS
This is an UN-biased, OBJECTIVE view.

than to RATE your OWN decisions.
BESIDES, how would YOU be/remain "OBJECTIVE" of/for YOUR OWN actions?!)

And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time you'll find the way
And then a hero comes along

And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong

SIX YEARS in academia.)

…IF I were a PESSIMIST,
… I MIGHT regard my CURRENT (TEMPORARY) "situation"/PHYSICAL "state of affairs" as
quite BLEAK.
Since I understand MUCH of PHYSICS and IF I were to evaluate my "condition" from a PESSIMISTIC perspective, I would describe it as THUS:
"I'm attached to ANOTHER object, by an INCLINED plane, wrapped HELICALLY around an axis."
(… TRANSLATION:
I'd be "SCREWED".)
However, I have FAR TOO MUCH SELF-confidence, DETERMINATION and "STRENGTH" (mental AND physical) to just "GIVE UP".
(… Besides, how FUN was that IMAGERY?!)

So, upon witnessing my "WALKING", my nurse recommended that I purchase a WIDER "walker" to better STABILIZE me, when/while my LEFT leg swings WAY WIDE LEFT during my "WALKING".
(… It TENDS TO do that.)
HOWEVER, this morning--upon my "toilet-trek" to "answer Nature's call", I REALLY FOCUSED on taking more STABLE, STRAIGHTER--albeit SHORTER--strides.
Sure enough, … SUCCESS!
KUDOS to that "VERY SELECTIVE FOCUS-seminar in that big, SECLUDED area"!
NICE!
