You said,
"But if making lots of money is your definition of success then go for it, but just remember that success can also come at a high price and sometimes even compromise one's own values, integrity, family or health."

Absolutely!

I've seen this far too often. People feel chained up in the golden handcuffs, like they "have" to do this or that immoral thing. It makes me sick.

That's the spirit Kuanyin. With your wit and talent for writing you can't help but be a success.

Thanks for the kind words. I stayed up all night rewriting this so that it wouldn't appear too harsh or like I was picking on any one individual.

Cheers!

I really think that blogging with sincerity and not just trying to make a buck on every endeavor is what engenders respect. If your goal is to make a ton of money through blogging you've probably chosen the wrong career. To me, much of the success that blogging brings comes through associations built through the blogging process, not necessarily from pay-per-click advertising.

You write with passion, candor, and authenticity-- why I enjoy your posts.

Am I a success with my blogs? Yes, because I'm still having fun with them. If the joy and fun vanishes (someday), then you'll find an abandoned blog(s). Having fun and experiencing joy is one of the main criteria for success in my book.

"give more than what you hope to receive"

good point... too many bloggers have it the other way around
