Realistic goals.<\/p>\n<p>And since we&#8217;re talking about<br \/>success, obviously, I think I need<br \/>to throw in here that we&#8217;re talking<br \/>about how each person has to define<br \/>their own success.  <\/p>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;m not trying to be a male <br \/>chauvinist pig or anything \u2013 <br \/>I think women and men are the <br \/>same here, really I do.  So don&#8217;t<br \/>send me any hate mail! J<\/p>\n<p>But I think it would be interesting<br \/>to see in the responses how men<br \/>define success against how women<br \/>define success.  Maybe there is a<br \/>difference, I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>Especially as it regards bipolar<br \/>disorder.  Maybe bipolar makes<br \/>it so that there isn&#8217;t a difference<br \/>at all.
