A little more from my favorite author Alain de Botton speaking at TED this month.

I am hyping him a lot right now because he points out the other side of things we keep forgetting or ignoring.

In this talk he describes how there’s a snobbery that defines what success is, and that this common measure is one that demoralizes many of us. He argues we need to set our own personal standard for what success is and grow past the conventional ones of money, fame and love/respect.Local Color rip
