3. What is one big mistake that you've made in your life and what did you do to make it right? [3 pts] Max pts: 40/30 Sir J.U. Tan Tian The greatest case of mistaken identity in modern society relates to the four marks of public success: money, power, fame, and status. Success should never be confused with wealth or power. Rather, success should be linked to excellence and fulfillment, [and character]. I have no problem with money, power, fame, or status as long as theyre treated as resources, rather than as goals in themselves. But thats precisely the problem for most people and why? Its so hard for people to answer the question How much is enough? If acquiring money or fame is your goal, how do you know when you have enough? Everyone I know who has a little wants more. But everyone I know who has a lot also wants more. -Tom Morris (1952-present) American Philosopher
