I'm feeling LSE again after encountering/thinking about some highly successful people. These people have everything. Looks, intellect, talent, money/potential to make lots of money. You can see their life brilliantly unfolding in front of them.
Most of them, in addition to their perfect life, have a highly stable romantic relationship with their special someone. Such relationships are also able to withstand the turbulence of a long distance relationship.
(I'm talking about those super successful people, not the run of the mill 'relatively successful' scholars. There are not many of these people around. Thankfully, as if I don't feel LSE enough!)
Hm, my rich professor once told the class that the really rich/successful (by that he means the people with over $100 million USD) meet their wives before the age of 25. (Why didn't he say husbands? Darn it! It's a man's world.) I guess settling on a life partner early in life allows one to devote his energy pursuing his career. I guess it's kind of pointless to have all the money and no one to share it with.
Inaccurate quote from some spiderman movie (scene when that bad guy is showing the earth to Mary-Jane): There's no point in having the world unless there is someone I can give the world to.
There, so all the highly successful people have evolved skills that allow them to get and maintain great relationships and everything else they want. It's just too bad for the rest of us loser-ish people.
