I just finished an article (paper media--no url available) which touched on the differences between being "successful" and being significant.

In short, it states that having great "success" in what you "do" on a daily basis is by far overshadowed by the premise of being significant to those around you on a daily basis. Making large sums of money and having 'things' as opposed to not having them, is not being successful.

Being significant can be directly correlated to being successful based only on your chosen field of expertise and the influence you have on others for the greater good, however, and nowhere does that ideology fit more precisely than in the SOF and SF communities.

First, allow me to thank each of the QP's who consistantly take great strides to be successful here by being significant. Your input and guidance is, absolutely, the cream of the crop.

Secondly, thank you for your significance by going places and doing things that many others would shrink from...those things that impact our world on a global scale, changing the lives of countless people by carrying your beliefs and honor to the far reaches of the globe.

You ARE successful because you are significant. Your examples inspire us all.

Thank you,


Mick
