i have a good analogy....
I am sure many will deemed saddam hussein a sucessful leader when he was at his peak of his power (note: Successful leader doesn't mean a good leader). And yet, Saddam Hussein's life as whole? Regardless of where you stand in the Iraq war, Saddam Hussein is a failure of doing what he is supposed to be doing (whatever that is) as US invaded Iraq and he is captured and sentenced by the UN. I'm sure when Saddam is at his peak in the 90s, he felt invincible and never expected his fate to be such an end. And the conclusion of Saddam Hussein's life is that he is a failed dictator.
So for those who think 'they have made it' and is successful when at age 30. Think further. It's not how much you possessed and achieved now and 10 years from now. Success is defined by your entire life. I will much prefer to have a successful life as a whole than a successful adult life (and I'm sure you will agree that both are not necessary relative).
