About "The Stars of the White Nights"
The Stars of the White Nights is one of the
brightest stars of the music and theatre universe and has emerged to be one of
the most popular and grandiose music forums in its context and scale.The Stars of the White Nights Festival was
created in 1993 by Maestro Valery
Gergiev, Mariinsky Theatre
Artistic and General Director. Maestro Gergiev says that he conceived the first Festival as a
"musical gift" to the city from the Mariinsky and its star-artists. From the
very beginning the Festival has been focused on the masterpieces of the world's
music discovering for its audience some rarely performed or undeservedly
forgotten pieces. The Stars of the White Nights Festival has gained in
strength, popularity and international acclaim. The duration for the Festival it
has expanded from ten days to three months during the last sixteen year.
Renowned conductors and star-artists take as great honour the invitation to
perform at the Stars of the White Nights. Each year the Festival programme
includes the Theater's finest opera and ballet productions, great symphonic
works, masterpieces of chamber music and new premieres.
During the last years the Festival programme
has included the works created by the great classical composers ¢ Beethoven
symphonies, Prokofiev's and Tchaikovsky's operas, ballets and symphony music. Major events
at the Stars have included the production of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen,
in addition to the Shostakovich and Mahler Symphonies series.
This festival is a must for ballet, opera
and classical music amateurs. The annual Stars of the White Nights Festival
takes an inspiration for its name from the short summer season when the sun
never sets, and the beauty of St-Petersburg White Nights contributes to the
festival's special atmosphere and its world-class programme of concerts, as
audience comes out of the historic theatre at midnight into daylight to stroll
along the streets of the theatrical setting of St Petersburg.

The Mini Countryman is neither small nor a man of the country, but it is a popular and premium small crossover. What do you need to know before you buy a Mini Countryman? Don't worry, we'll tell you everything right here in the Ultimate Buyer's Guide.
Skateboard legend Tony Hawk was known to be a Mopar guy, but it seems like he started downsizing by signing a partnership with Mini instead.
[This is the Monster Energy X-raid Mini Countryman built to defend their FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Rallies title. These cars have won two World Cups already, plus the Dakar Rally for the third time in a row back in January.]
There's been a lot of publicity about Mini winning the 2014 Dakar. Well, the cars that placed first, second, and third have about as much to do with Mini as I have to do with a cheese danish.
A New Jersey woman crashed her car yesterday on a gravel path meant for walkers and bicyclists. She mistook the path for a proper road, almost certainly because she was driving a Mini.
It was just last week when I thought it was best to stick with some kind of Volkswagen Transporter if you want a camper vehicle. Mini has decided it needs a place in the small-vehicle-you-can-sleep-in stakes and released pictures of new designs for you to study. Fascinating.
Over the last few years, Mini has expanded its offerings in order to appeal to a broader audience. They saw a need for a bigger Mini to get people into showrooms, so the Countryman was born.
A little more than a week ago, our own Bill Caswell expressed his displeasure at how BMW has been diluting the M brand with special editions that mean nothing and cars that no longer have anything to do with the word "Motorsport."
If you're going to drive a Mini Countryman, you might as well attach a vanity license plate that matches its personality — but you're going to have a hard time surpassing this one I came across near the University of Maryland. Juicy, indeed.
With today's announcement of the 2012 list of nominees, the North American Car and Truck of the Year has further solidified itself as the laughing stock of auto industry awards.

Mini let slip a few Countryman pricing details at yesterday's press launch for 2011 models. The big news? The four-door Cooper will start at a base price of $22,350 — only $550 more than the equivalent Clubman. [MotoringFile]
The Mini Countryman crossover/SUV/bloated fugmobile hasn't impressed us yet, but the advertising is typical Mini-clever. Example? This fake surfwear billboard around the corner from the real Countryman advert. [Copyranter]
Security gaurds at the Luxor Las Vegas casino mistook a lightly camouflaged Mini Countryman prototype for a car bomb Saturday night, shutting down the garage and disrupting a Playboy model's swan song. Exclusive photos of the sad, booted Mini below.
MINI fanboys, set your hearts to flutter, the company's officially announced a return to rallying. Prodrive's developing a World Rally Championship race-ready MINI Countryman for a run in the 2011 series. Rumor has it Marcus Grönholm's interested in driving. [Rallybuzz]
Why this MINI Countryman was hiding in sniper camouflage, we don't know. But, judging by the wacky-haired Chinese hipster kids nonchalantly hanging out around the hidden car, it's got a good chance at taking a few out.
The first four-door Mini, the Countryman, is officially here, continuing the tradition BMW started with the Clubman of watering down this beloved brand until it's almost completely unrecognizable. What's next, a Mini minivan called the "Familyman?"
Someone leaked shots of what is clearly the new MINI Cooper crossover and they show off everything about the new car — except whether its called the Mini Countryman or Mini Crossman. More pics of the biggest Mini below.

I am building a php web app that requires internationalization. I have decided to use get-text for system related strings and perhaps some database tables for user generated content.
For example, a user might be able to post a blog post. He should be able to post different versions of that post in different languages. I can implement this by storing all the posts in the posts table with an extra column denoting the language.
The difficult bit is trying to internationalize system strings stored in the database.
For example, I have a table that stores privileges. Each privilege should have a string that describes what this privilege does.
At the moment, it is stored in a table like this:
- id
- privilege
- Some other columns
- Description
I plan to use an application like PoEdit to generate gettext files. It is able to search through all the php files to grab the strings. But in the cases like this where the string is stored in the database, it can be a fair bit of work to extract the string for transation. What are some tricks and solutions to handling this?
Finally, lets say I have some data types and forms that users can create and define in the app. For example, defining a "product type" for a shopping cart. This means that the product will have its own unique set of attributes and descriptions. These attributes will require translating along with the description.
The same case with forms. The user can create a form which might be stored in a set of tables. These forms then need to be translated.
What are some database models I can use to store translations for forms and product types?
Cheers :)

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Enrollment at the University of Alabama has topped 30,000 for the first time ever.
The school says a record 30,232 students are enrolled. That's up 1,425 students over fall 2009.
UA President Robert E. Witt says the school is improving and lauded the academic credentials of its freshman class.
Enrollment at UA is up 54.1 percent since fall 2002.

Waterbury eyes $190K camera system to deter crime
The downtown is already one of the safest in the state, but the system would make people who live, work and shop in the downtown "feel" safer, too, said Mayor Neil M. O'Leary.
The cameras might be especially comforting to suburban visitors and out-of-town businesses who don't know about the city's low crime rate, O'Leary said.
"We will use these cameras to fight misperceptions about downtown as much as we will use them to actually fight crime," O'Leary said. "I think it will be a huge help for us."
The $190,000 system would include 15 movable cameras mounted in vandal-proof cases high atop buildings throughout the city's central business district.
The surveillance network would cover the district between the City Green and the Mixmaster, and between Meadow and North Elm streets. Private networks could also be added.
The contract with supplier Tyco Integrated Security, former parent company of popular home security firm ADT Corp., will go to the Board of Aldermen next month for review.
If approved, the cameras could be filming by late summer.
O'Leary said he had wanted to install a video surveillance system back when he was the police chief, but couldn't find a way to fund it without putting a huge drain on the budget.
This system would all be funded by grant dollars, he said.
The cost will be split between the Waterbury Development Corp., the city's development arm, a drug asset forfeiture fund, and the U.S. Department of Justice.
The cameras would be monitored around the clock by city dispatchers and the on-duty administrative police lieutenant to help coordinate response to crime as it happens.
The system wouldn't require additional staffing, he noted.
The system archive would store the recordings at least 30 days, and possibly as long as 90 days, to assist detectives in investigating crimes that have already occurred.
Downtown merchants have been asking for such a system for a while to reassure both their workers and customers, said Deputy Police Chief Fred Spagnolo.
Downtown landlords believe the system would help recruit new tenants, and economic development boosters believe the system will help recruit new retailers downtown.
Waterbury is basing its system on one in Milford, but there are other Connecticut towns and cities that use police camera systems, ranging from New London to Meriden to New Haven.
Bridgeport used homeland security grants to install video cameras around its public buildings, such as its port and City Hall, years ago, but is just now installing cameras in public spaces.
Bridgeport's $400,000, 10-camera public surveillance system will go live this summer, and focus on monitoring high-crime and high-traffic areas, said city security director Scott Appleby.
Some privacy rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, have questioned public surveillance systems, saying they are ineffective and have potential for abuse.
Bridgeport invited the ACLU to review its system and to make recommendations on how to use it without violating first and fourth amendment rights, Appleby said.
At the organization's recommendation, the city adopted a set of strict internal controls that governs who can monitor the cameras or review archived footage, and for what reasons.
For example, Appleby said, users are trained not to use a camera to look into someone's window or door, and only use cameras to follow somebody if they are suspected of a crime.
The ACLU also lobbied the city to retain archived footage for only 30 days, at which point the cameras record over older footage, Appleby said. Only crime footage can be retained longer.
O'Leary said the city police department will adopt a strict policy that regulates who can monitor the camera and review the archived footage, and for what reasons.

secondly, they are safe, but we want to spend 190k to make them feel safe even though they are safe?
in no way shape or form should anyone ever be in favor of our elected officials and police having surveilance set up to monitor us.
its a big town, its not a city and the sooner you people realize that the sooner you might fix some of the problems that you have.
AND finally. does this mean that there wont be a cop sitting down there 12 hours a day? or will we spend a ton of money, to pay someone to sit there and watch us while still paying cops to sit down town all day to not make people feel safe.

If you don't feel comfortable walking downtown, then stay home. I've lived in Waterbury all my life, and I do occasionally go downtown.

The order that players must wear "predominantly white" clothing is taking a break at the All England Club. For the first time in history, tennis players will be allowed to wear color at Wimbledon, thanks to new rules instituted specifically for the London Olympics.
Venus Williams, a triple gold medalist and five-time Wimbledon champion, is taking full advantage of the one-time exception. Venus showed up to the Olympics with red, white and blue strands in her long, flowing braids, a beautiful blend of patriotism, fashion and individuality.
The elder Williams sister won the gold medal in the singles competition in 2000. She and her sister Serena won the doubles competition in that year and 2008. They are favored to take home the gold again in London, particularly after their dominant run to the Wimbledon title earlier this month.

Chicago, Oct. 19. 1896.
To the Editor:
—On page 879 of The Journal is a clipping which presents the life and character of Paracelsus in some what too roseate a hue. When I was at Salzburg in 1889, admiring the quaint picturesqueness of the town, reviving memories of Mozart and wondering at the modern troglodytes residing in furnished apartments cut cave-like out of the solid rock in the hillside, I naturally, as a physician, hunted up the relics of Paracelsus. The monument and chapel described in the clipping are easily discovered. Of much more interest to me, however, was the home of this curious character. At one end of the Salzach bridge and within hailing distance of the home of Mozart, stands upon a projecting corner, facing a kind of little square, a plain, flat, unornamental four-storied house, with a large portrait and explanatory plate in regard to Paracelsus on

Interstate Motel
Locally owned and operated. 55 rooms. Swimming pool.
Unique Qualities: This has the benefit of getting you off and back on the Interstate faster than other Guthrie accommodations, but as to historic flair and proximity to the action, this is the least attractive of Guthrie's lodges.
Address: 2115 E Oklahoma
Price Comparison: about average
Directions: near I-35 and Hwy-33
Phone: 405/ 282-7700 or 1-800-864-7775
Price: US$40-80

Sleep Inn
One of few motels that are part of a national chain in Guthrie, but a little away from the main centers of attraction.

Price: US$40-80

Town House Motel
Of course it doesn't look anything like a town house or any of the historic buildings downtown. If you wanted such a thing, scan for Guthrie's B & B's. This swanky looking place is actually modestly priced and certainly near the historic center.
Unique Qualities: Near the historic center and not far from the monstrosity (i.e. the county courthouse).

Facebook employee's inspiring blog on why you don't have to achieve everything when you're young
- From: news.com.au
- November 04, 2013
WE LIVE in a world obsessed with achievement, unlocking your potential and doing it as young as possible.
Every day we receive messages telling us we can be anything we want to be, and we can be it now. Overall that's probably a positive thing, but it can also be a burden.
If you don't have the most happening career and the most Twitter followers and the greatest this and the most excellent that, you might start to look at all your successful friends and wonder 'Why isn't my life like that?'.
And then you might begin to feel pretty down on yourself.
If that's you, allow us to introduce you to a regular guy who might just change your entire perspective for the better. He's got a name starting with Z and he works for Facebook
No, he's not Mark Zuckerberg. He's Kejia Zhu and he's a 29 year old guy who was born in China, grew up in the UK and now lives in America. Kejia wrote a blog this week which received a lot of attention worldwide, and here's why.
The blog is about Kejia's grandfather in Beijing. Kejia visited the old man recently and discovered something remarkable. We'll let him tell it in his own words, then share a remarkable insight from Kejia himself, who we spoke to overnight. Here's the blog intro:
"Do you sometimes lie awake worrying that you aren't succeeding fast enough? Are you tortured by younger peers who have global businesses, penned acclaimed books and a string of iron-man medals? Do you count down the years until you can no longer make the 30 under 30 list? Take a deep breath. My 92 year old grandpa has some advice for you."
The blog post continues:
He is a tremendously accomplished individual and considered by many to be a pioneer in biomedical engineering. I visited him in Beijing recently. We were taking an after dinner stroll. I was pestering him for details about his career, looking for tidbits that might help my own. What was he like at my age? How did he work? Is there a secret a routine? He stops me mid-sentence "You know, my career only really took off after I turned 58".
Hang on, what?
"Yes, I'd say the 10 years between my 60s and 70s were my busiest".
I was floored. Here is a man who helped revolutionise medical technology and he did it in his twilight years.
Long story short. Kejia's Grandpa's life was interrupted by all sorts of political turmoil in China. But as Kejia explains, this only made him stronger in the end.
"My grandpa had no choice but to wait a long time for his opportunity. It's likely he would have achieved even more had be moved to the West. However, had he missed his moment, I dare say he would still have had a fulfilling life. Without the acclaim and recognition he'd still be the jovial, curious and industrious man I love.
"His advice to me: Don't be in so much of a rush. Be easier on yourself. Comparing yourself to what others are doing is a waste of time. He also adds an old Chinese saying "大器晚成" - A big construction is always completed late."
So there you have it. Relax. Take a breath. Let this thing come to you rather than despairing that you haven't grabbed it yet.
We asked Kejia if he could tell us about himself and share a few more reflections on the experience of meeting his grandfather. Here's what he said:
"I'm 29, soon to be 30 in January. I stumbled into the web/tech industry by way of physics, an investment bank, charity fundraising and medical research. It feels like I was part of the generation groomed to feel like they could and should achieve everything. I for one have been anxious about living up to this expectation and could see many of my peers felt the same, though it was never talked about.
I moved to the Bay area [San Francisco] last month to join Facebook. Despite some early successes I feel rather unremarkable here, which is a good thing. I wanted to be in a position where I could feel like a rookie and soak up the learning. I do think that the high achievement driven attitude that fuels this area has a negative impact on people's expectations of themselves."
Is that refreshing or what? This dude works for Facebook, the hub of some of the most creative minds in the world, yet he's not fretting over being smarter and more ahead-of-the-curve than everyone else. He's just doing things in his own time.
Advice we can all heed, don't you think?

Whats the Western World got to do with it? The World has always been competetive and always will and if you think you can lay back and take it easy and that someone else or some other country will not beat you then you do not understand what life is about. What is misunderstood in the West is they relate all success in money terms and some of the most successful people in terms of being relaxed about who they are and relating to other human beings and life on the planet do not have much of that at all. As always it is about setting priorities but whatever goals you set yourself monetary or otherwise, dont kid yourself there will not be any competition to achieve them, and dont think that just by waiting until your older and wiser success will magically appear. Most people who get older do not get wiser at all they get pedantic, close minded and set in their ways, but if you have started young in training yourself to have an open, inquiring and flexible mind combined with a work ethic, then opportunities for success in whatever field you have chosen are much more likely to be recognised and taken at any age. Dont use the article as an excuse for not trying.

Marko, (*Filomena Giglio of Adelaide, see below.) your comment. Marko, that's not totally true. There are those from all walks, of life and backgrounds. Who, like this man's Grandfather, have tried to instil, good values, to the next generation? Now that they are the wiser. Who live in this country, too? We just don't hear about it, as much as we should in the papers. As itâs not, ground breaking NEWS, like War, Murder, Death, Robberies, Rumours, etc. Try the Herald Sun (Melb Paper) hardcopy paper "In Black and White". This page, daily, may cater to those maybe, 40 and over. But from time, to time, it too shares some good things from those, who may have older parents etc, or are now some 30 yrs plus. And âYour Sayâ depending on the topic. *And to âFilomena Giglio of Adelaideâ, Yes maybe across the world, from Yr10 on. I would rather be a low lvl Admin Officer, where I work, than be those, way up the top, even those like Bill Gates, etc. I have no debts, a roof over my head I pay rent, and be content, etc. Itâs a lot less stress. Than, you own or are worth $36 billion or million, or 1 million, and you fall, to next to nothing. Are you happy? Content? Stress Free? I donât think so.

Money, power and fame are considered by many as the ultimate achievements in life, often they are a trapping. Those that have them are too busy trying to stop other taking them or increasing them even more. Western culture especially consider very shallow achievements as something worthwhile and those that toil away in obscurity as nothing. Come a zombie apocalypse wealth, fame and power will mean nothing.

Unrealistic expectations Posted at 10:05 AM November 04, 2013
I have worked with a bunch of "over achievers" people who put their careers above everything and everyone else. They are a pain in the ass and expect all and sundry to live up to their expectations and consider you a bad person if you don't. These people won't let anyone get in their way and chastise those that do. They don't say its "lonely at the top for nothing" usually because you've trodden on everyone else to get there. I don't want the stress, pressures and unrealistic expectations thanks. The only thing I'm glad I ever did was stop working for those kind of people. Best move I ever made. Don't force your drive for the "perfect life" on other people, you are an idealist not a realist. I'm happy with my lot even if you're not.

Im 31 this month, and pretty much have done nothing because of illness but since having a lung transplant at 24 I have been focussed on recovery and in 2015 I plan to begin a 5 year architecture degree and want to be a practicing architect by 40. I feel very sad that all my friends are about 15 years aheaad of me but that is not a reason to give up. To all of you who are saying "not everyone can be a superstar" I ask you this. Are you making the most of your life?

It's ironic, but this isn't a new thing. Julias Ceaser compared himself to Alexander and was disappointed in several notes left behind and felt that he had unachieved. Alexander had conquered alot of ground and yet Ceaser by the same age had actually done very little. Ceaser went on and after the age of 35 or so his campaign truly kicked off and he surpassed Alexander in his older years and founded a dynasty of sorts. Old problem, new story. Good read.

Educated Citizen of Sydney Posted at 8:52 AM November 04, 2013
What a load of codswallop! We live in a society where we're constantly under attack by government & media to borrow big, spend big, invest big and if you're not a property magnate by time you're 40 and retired, you're considered a failure. If you're a career professional and unemployed and over 50, you're unemployable. OF COURSE people feel like they're under pressure all day every day to 'succeed'! The BANKS and GOVERNMENT has destroyed every sense of security and stability in society to feed their bottom line and the population feels like they have no choice but to risk it all, go big or forever be considered a failure. Then a 'story' like this comes out written by a 'success story' trying to placate the masses? RUBBISH!

Time of our lives Posted at 8:45 AM November 04, 2013
Our obsession with the definition of success is so often tied to money and achievement. The thing is money comes and goes and achievements are overridden quickly (look at how quickly records are changed/broken). Measure success by your good deeds, your kindness, your richness of relationships and experiences shared. Time is something no one can buy and you can never gain again - it is the only commodity worth spending well because it's limited. If we only shifted our priorities to reflect this, the world would measure 'success' so much more differently.

Thanks, this is the sort of blog people need to read. We cant all be venture capitalist-geniouses. Most of us have menial jobs that need to be done.

I am cynical. The article is a ploy to draw more attention to himself so he gets noticed as the new bright, wise kid at Facebook which positions himself nicely for future opportunities. I have learned one thing working in large international corporations. Career hungry individuals rarely do anything in the public sphere for altruistic reasons. Everything they do is calculated and self-serving. Charity fundraising gimme a break.

Ricey of Australia Posted at 6:11 PM November 03, 2013
Being a success at work is simply doing your job well and being proud of that work. A lot of people have no pride in their work. Even a cleaner should set out to clean as best they can each day and then they know at the end of the day, they have done their job well and that gives them some pride. You do not need to change the world through work - an unfortunate ideal that came about with individualism. Better to focus on your lot as a start, excel at it, and if an opportunity comes that makes you a world changer... great.

i hated the pressure in high school where you had to decide your career path and we were told you only have one shot to get this right, well i didn't do well in high school and didn't enjoy it, so i left as soon as i could. I spent 3 years unemployed then went to secretary school and was able to get a job in the government pushing paper around. I did this for 19 years before finally having a mental breakdown At 40 i went back to TAFE to do a pre-aprenticeship in cabinetmaking and enjoyed it so much i then became an apprentice and after the required time i became qualified, so now at 48 I saw in yesterdays new homes section of the paper a kitchen that i made in the fantastic new house they were featuring. So my advice is do what makes you happy and success will follow

Are you reading this on a computer in a comfortable home or office and have had enough to eat? Don't fear for your life or that of your family's? Then you've 'achieved' a lot compared to many unfortunate people around the world, who haven't been as lucky or were simply born at the wrong place and wrong time. It's difficult however to constantly sell new products to content people therefore we're told we're too poor, too fat, too ugly, a failure by not being a millionaire by the age of 30 every single day.

Being a young professional under 25 years old, I completely agree with the fact that nowadays everyone under the age of 30 are constantly under high pressure, not necessarily from peers or parents, but from ourselves. I strive to have a successful life, but at the same time, I'm constantly searching for the answer to true happiness. Is successful career/financially free = happiness? I'm contradicting my own beliefs from time to time...

The problem is that so many people equate success and achievement with making loads of money and owning stuff. To me success is spending my days loving, being loved, being part of a community and staying true to my personal beliefs. Yes it means sometimes I struggle to pay the bills, but to me not compromising myself equals success.

Gaz of Melbourne Posted at 2:06 PM November 03, 2013
Sage of Noose: I agree, there are so many factors outside of ones control that shape 'who we are' and also 'what we will be'. These aren't completely deterministic...but they play a part. The media bombards up with a constant stream of 'success', in the form of celebrities, sports stars, media personalities, ultra rich businesspeople and so on. I believe this can have an impact on young people especially, giving them an unrealistic idea of what it means to be successful. Looking at commercial media (TV/magazines etc.) it is good looks, youthfulness, being fashionable, owning expensive material commodities, being 'popular', getting paid a lot of money...these are the things that are constantly shown and therefore implicitly suggested as being what 'success' is in today's world.

Luigi Vampa of Fire Up Posted at 12:56 PM November 03, 2013
Loser talk. I think it's a crime to live in a country as rich and with an much opportunity as ours and not aim for the very highest of your ability, in work, study, everything. The problem with this country is there are too many spoilt lazy people, too many who demand someone else do the heavy lifting, who demand "someone outta do something about something". One rare example of success in twilight years should not make you feel better about having achieved nothing by your 40's, 50's. It should tell you to get a move on. Because chances are you won't have that million dollar idea when you're 58. Chances are at that age you'll be doing what you've always done, and if that's nothing really that meaningful or productive, then that's likely what the rest of your life will turn out to be.

What rubbish, how you measure yourself and determine success is only one part of the puzzle, if you are working for a globalized multinational you are measured annually against a set of corporate targets. Achieve nothing and you will find your self outside the door pretty darn quick. Face the fact that not everyone gets a gold star, some people are more driven, more goal oriented possibly even more ruthless than others. In the business world you might not be the golden child. What is important is how you live your life, measure success by the joy and happiness you bring your family and friends. Subject to certain beliefs, you only get one shot at life, enjoy it as best you can and don't beat yourself up.

In a western world where 45 is considered old and useless, yet with a life expectancy of 85 we are putting so much pressure on our young people to achieve things they just don't have the maturity, experience and capability to accomplish. We will be overtaken socially and economically by those countries who nurture their young and respect age and experience. It's already happening and those companies which are so short-sighted to ignore the signs will be gone within 20 years if they don't change now.

It's ironic and funny at the same time when you think Facebook itself promotes this culture of "I want to do/achieve what this other guy is doing/achieving". Look at my photo feed, my travel itinerary, the amazing dinner I took my wife out to. Sigh...finally some words of wisdom from an honest person. Btw, I don't have a facebook account for this very reason. Oh...and I live on the Gold Coast. Just thought I'll mention it.

KJBeinke of Adelaide Posted at 11:43 AM November 03, 2013
If you are able to achieve a loving family and great friends coupled with modest financial independence, you have been a great success. Without being negative towards great achievers, the happiest people I ever had anything to do with were the East Timorese during a peace keeping tour of duty in 2000. They had no material goods and were mainly subsistence farmers. Their secret to success is the love and friendship of their family and friends. Remember, these people had faced terrible atrocities only a few months prior and had recently gained political independence so I guess freedom is also an important factor. If we reflect back, our happiest moments in life are good times shared with family and friends.

ScarletRed of Melbourne Posted at 11:32 AM November 03, 2013
@boiragi - Mine is quite similar. I came here a while ago with no qualifications, form an education system that deemed me a failure, but the main difference was that my English was a touch better than most teenagers my age, even in Australia. Long story short, I ended up jumping from country to country not by my choosing, suffered heaps, came back here, tried to finish my education but couldn't, and was a very mediocre person who had little motivation. I ended up suffering from depression for 2 years. I had no family, few friends and no good friends. This didn't stop me - am now on a success streak today - 2 postgrad degrees (not the mickey mouse types either), a bright future ahead, a large support network of friends and acquaintances filled with ambition but compassionate hearts, some beautiful people I count as my nearest and dearest - and a passion for helping people from troubled backgrounds, broken families and so on with my skills sometime in the future. Success isn't a clock ticking. Its a seed waiting to be grown organically within all of us, and if we are content with our lot - we are successful. (Doesn't have to be a big house, car, overpaid 14 hr day job)

Not to worry, this current generation of Uni graduates don't seem to want to work hard anyway, they think they're entitled to anything they want and throw fits when they don't get it. The me-too generation is finally upon us, enjoy it Australia and watch the east surpass us in standards of living and achievements. We can't sustan the whole economy on rocks and dirt, some of us will need to work hard. Funny how the story is from an sian kid is writing about lack of achievement, considering most of the higher achievers in Australian schools are asian descent. Australians don't need yet another excuse to be lazy.

I'm sad for the people above who have 'achieved nothing' and seem happy with it. It's a very 'Aussie' viewpoint. I'm not 100% sure if they mean bought a house or been to the moon? Haven't you had a kid, had a job you love (I'm 39 and have loved all my jobs, seriously), bought a house or 2 (or 3), bought a brand new car, watched your child grow into a great person? You're so lucky, you live in the best country in the world and can do anything you want but people are happy sitting at home on welfare not being able to afford to even heat their house when it's cold. After over 20 years in my field I lost my job and will never work in the field I LOVE again due to disability. Overnight I went from doing what I love to being unable to function coz of an accident. Had that not happened I would have kept doing what I loved: working and property investing. But I can barely walk. Consider yourselves very lucky and get off your bum and do something, even if it means getting a job that lets you do something you want to do, even if its a trip to Disneyland (I'll never do that again either, very depressing). There's no reason other than your lack of motivation that is stopping you.

I was worried about how much I hadn't achieved in my life. I compared myself to my two younger brothers, both of whom have lucrative careers, made solid investments when they were young and have married and raised families. Most of my peers have done the same. I however, was content to flit around the world, change jobs several time, cruise through life and remain single. Three years ago, I gave up drinking and saved my meagre salary to invest in myself. I started my own business (and not anything to do with the flippin' internet). It was tough at first but now I'm doing well and am the happiest I have ever been. It's never too late to take a punt on yourself.
