a quest for god only knows what!!

procrastination in itself is a very dirty word.well, how do you deal with it when the same word keeps haunting you every day and night and, sooner or later , you begin to feel that it has become a part of your life, and you are becoming an expert at finding out new ways to prolong the period of ,let's say, inaction. folks, i can assure you that it is a very kind word to sum up that situation.at times like these, your mind begins to wander and, i wud say, it gathers wings and flies into hitherto unchartered territory. the question that haunts me all the time is what i really want. love, money,happiness,sex or, the most desirable of all , success!
yes,my dear friends, as human beings we are all flawed.well, having said that,don't we all pine for the pleasure that accompanies what we call success?fame and adulation are just the necessary by-products of the same.now comes the most important question.what exactly do we mean by the word 'success'? and is it the shortcut to happiness?
very vague questions with no concrete answers.and that too coming from a man who is just about trying to find out where he stands in this mad mad world,this may seem a little fatuous or pessimistic, as your point of view may be.one of the most commonly used parameters used to measure success is, invariably,money. but is money everything? or as they say , it is the fuel that stokes the fire of human avarice and paradoxically,that is what makes us human.a little confusing!so what exactly is success if it cannot be described in terms of money and, then what exactly is going to make us happy, if it is not money?
