Jagger: Success At 60
I've been reading a lot of items about rocker Mick Jagger, who's celebrating his 60th birthday this weekend. Some news stories talk about the "in your face" achievement of this guy, who has outlived some of his fiercest critics. Other stories talk about how much money he makes, and still others mention how he's mananged to stay relatively "clean and healthy" in an industry often peppered with folks in one stage or another of substance abuse. But not too many of the stories mention the things he's done to share the success and the fruits of his hard work. One project is the themickjaggercentre.
I really like the idea of success being something more than a set of goals for the ego in a person. Lasting success should involve a natural giving back of wealth, and resources to others making the journey.
