Dear Matty:

Thank you so much for your recognition then, for the appreciation!

It not only was a pleasure to get to know you, I am still getting to know you and I am still curious about you! As I wrote to you before, as far as I am concerned, this thread is not over!

As far as being a teacher here, on tiny buddha… I never thought of myself as a teacher here. I thought of myself as a student and articulated it many times before, that I am learning here and finding the process of learning here fascinating!

When I say I am learning, I don’t mean that I am learning by reading advice, just taking it in, no. I am learning through interactions with people. Two ways interactions and always have in mind that the interactions need to be Win-Win.

So when I gave you my practical input of late, I was hoping it may be helpful, maybe. A big maybe. Maybe if would be of no help at all. But I was mindful. I paid attention so that I was honest and not harmful at the same time.

What motivated me, you asked: to learn. I am motivated by learning about people and life.

What is the definition of success? The common, widespread media and marketing supported definition of success is money and power. My definition: mental well being. There is way more money and power in the world than there is mental well being. What is scarce is mental well being. That is a rare gem. That is success.

Please do post again and again as long as you are motivated, as long as it is a Win for you!
