How do you define success? When you look back on your life, how do you measure if you’ve achieved some degree of success?

I was watching a webcast with Howard Marks, co-founder and co-chairman of Oaktree Capital Management, entitled “I’m 80 and I wasted 25 years of my life. Don’t make my mistake. – Howard Marks“.

Here’s a link to the video.

Since you can never know the outcome of making a different choice at some point in your past. The only thing you can know is whether it was your choice, or someone else’s. Knowing that choices I made were my own, and not someone else’s, enables me to be at peace with my life at this point in time.

[Addition] at the end of this video, I like his point about “regret”. Add it to this post. https://youtu.be/nc4u9oxb0nA?is=NwZPisFgGJ1vg8JZ
