over rated is it?

there are lots of things overrated in life/world... clearest example being brands... too overrated at too many places!!! then take the example of 'air travel' most over rated form of travel... in fact talking about over rating i think even childhood is too overrated... i mean it wasnt all that great as it is made out to be... it just was like now just is.... but well this doesn't really matter....

but what is highly overrated and effects all of us is success.... i want to be successfull in life... whatever that means... if you ask people to define success i am almost sure there wouldn't be any consistency in the definition and i am also almost sure that there wouldnt be any quantitative definitions.... people are so hung up on success... wait let me find the dictionary meaning of success... "1. obsolete : outcome result 2 a: degree or measure of succeeding b: favorable or desired outcome; also : the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence3: one that succeeds" Source: http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/success
I have everything in life that i can want for a comfortable living.... everything... but still i dont think i am very successful... but the thing is i dont even want to be.... i think the expectation from me is that i keep wanting more... keep wanting something i dont have and achieving it... it is one thing today another tomorrow and another day after.... i might own a very successfull business... but no thats not enough.... i have to aquire other businesses i have to keep on growing.... what is the motive of life... what??? why????

anyway.... i am successfull enough... and i dont want anything else in life... i know saying that is as good as comitting suicide..... but then again.....
manzil se keh do meri raah naa dekhe... main naa rukoongaa..... main azaad hoon.....


P.S: Have you ever argued with someone over something... about the future... and the test of time proved you right and wondered but why was i right... couldnt i be wrong this one time???
