NOW...let's define successful. Does it mean one make a lot of money? ...or does it mean one is working, either part time or full time, at the photographic craft and is continually getting better and fully enjoys the results of his labor? I firmly believe in the latter!

well.. i defined what i considered successful in that specific quote (which was very tongue-in-cheek)
on a serious side, as you said.. the latter is what i'd prefer.. but the two don't have to be mutually exclusive (in fact, i'd bet that if your real focus was the second.. having the first come along would help things out)
