Defining Success

The definition of success is sometimes problematic. Sometimes persons successful in one area get too big for their britches as the saying goes and want to extend themselves too far into our personal lives. Just because I read someone's book, that would not necessarily mean that I would want to hang out with them and discuss personal matters and compare notes. I may or may not agree with them on every point. As for example, I vaguely remember reading the book by Kathie Lee Gifford, whose own book title admits to not knowing when to keep her mouth shut, in which she trashes all the evangelical people, mainly the Tulsa gang and also expresses her great annoyance with her first husband Paul Johnson, about whom she has almost nothing nice to say, which leaves us not surprised that marriage did not last very long and wondering how they ever got matched anyway. Obviously life goes on regardless of what Kathie Lee may or may not think about anything. Motormouths find their appropriate places in front of the camera reading scripts and quiet people are supposed to write the books, but it does not always work that way. Life is just not fair.
