Redefine Success

Someone just asked me a question; "How do you see yourself 10 years from now?" I didn't take a long time to answer. I see myself as a financially-secured individual, have a good career, have a gorgeous family and the bla and the bla. We are living in a society where success is defined as a material achievement. Success is having a lot of money.
What counts is money. Call me materialistic, well honey.. life is demanding.


And then there is this guy. He is a teacher of children with special needs. He has two majors in accounting and philosophy. At the moment, he is trying to pursue a scholarship to study abroad. He wants to take a master degree in Pedagogy with concentration in teaching children with special needs. His dream is simple; to teach children who are possess disability. He defines success in a very different way

What is this guy?

Suddenly I feel ashamed about myself.
