I want to update, just haven't been home in a while, and when I am I'm treating it as down-time and not going near my computer. Been watching a bit of TV, not as much as I'd like to (that's something you don't hear very often) - just watched through the first season of How I Met Your Mother and Coupling. Really need to do some writing and video editing, I'm way behind on my self-appointed deadlines.

On the plus side, I'm feeling really good about myself and life. Being busy tends to do that to me - I feel productive and valued, and those are lovely things to feel.

I love HIMYM. In my opinion, its on a par with Friends.

So HIMYM is just as terrible as Friends...?

I answered the skill to win/succeed because just wanting/hoping to "get there" isn't good enough, you have to go and get what you want in life.

"Winning" or "succeeding" have different meaning for different people. So, while one might not succeed in the typical way (with well-paying career), they may well be successful in other aspects of life, like happiness, friendships, exploring the world...

Oh no! I filled it out backwards! I meant the skill to win and the will to succeed.
