Then he finishes college and found decent occupation that demands him most. The standard has to be met so success be uttered - 2 story bungalow with backyard pool, a garden, first hand car, a private school for children, college investment plan, healthcare plan, and retiremet plan. Eventually he dies at a ripe age but having accomplished nothing. The standard is so high, he is more than willing to meet them, but his pocket only served him a month.
