Are you normal? Are you successful?

[Boojatta]

[Ken Burch]

1. Not sure I'm succesful or not, not sure I want to be "normal".

How are we defining "normality" here?

More or less ok with myself nonetheless.

Perhaps I'm typical.

2. I'm not normal; I post on DU!

Definitely outside of the mainstream. Successful? Eye of the beholder I guess; dirt poor, but have strong liberal values and am still idealistic, so am successful that way.

3. Successful but not Normal. I make a respectable sum of money as a Professional Pet.

:hi:

[Ozymanithrax]

Not sure what criteria define success...

I have had successes and failures in my life. I'll let the person carving my tombstone decide.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Those are pretty subjective questions...

I look normal, and I feel successful...

But what do those words mean, really?

I function well in society, don't break any big rules, am happily married, and just had a poem published.

So, do those make me normal and/or successful?

I think so!

:P

5. Successful - because I can judge myself, not normal - because I can't judge that

Besides, the times I've been the most "normal" in my life were not even close to the happiest times.

6. Never been normal a day in my life.

Don't ever wanna be. I have a beautiful, loving family. That's success, to me.

13. same here

7. Still vertical, still above the sod. I guess that is success. Normal? That's not

for me to decide.

[donheld]

8. Please define "normal" and "Successful"

[Electric Monk]

10. Normal is just a setting on my dryer.

Successful, well, that's relative. It totally depends what ones goals were. For example, if you tried to fail at something, and did, does that make you a success?

9. I am successfully getting NORML as we speak...

:evilgrin:

[ZombieHorde]

11. Ha!

12. All of the above, because I Seem to Be a Verb
