prompt: how's your balance sheet?

How's your balance sheet?

Can we decide upon success and failure? And can the one also lead to the other?

As Pete Townshend and The Who asked, how many friends have I really got? Not enough. How about you?

How much money have I earned? Not enough. But I have enough. How about you?

How much have I created? Not enough, but it's a start. How about you?

Have I been a good leader? Not good enough. Have I learned any lessons? I don't know. How about you?

Am I well-informed and aware? Considerably so. Does it do me any good? I don't know. How about you?

Am I healthy and fit. Averagely so; maybe better. But not enough. How about you?
