There are so many others that determine self-motivation. Character, opportunity, "street smarts", and so on. I note that "wealth" immediately pops up as a qualifier of success. It's an indicator (unreliable IMHO), but not necessarily the goal. Many people, whatever their IQ, EQ or current flavour Q test, would probably, if they thought about it, prefer that they be able to pursue their dreams and ideas and be fulfilled, whatever their financial situation. Take artists, writers, musicians - and amateur programmers - for example. Money, rather than wealth, does oil the cogs though, no denying that -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
