I don't think my brother has ever volunteered for anything in his life!  All he ever thinks is about the almighty dollar!  (pretty sad)  I, obviously, got someone else to volunteer to help me coach the team.  We did this for two years, and we had an over-all record of 34-6, and I think the kids really had fun during this time!  It was quite rewarding for me!   

Granted...all of us need money or some sort of income to survive...but acquiring money, material things and property...keeping up with the Joneses, have never been on the top of my 'to do' list. 

At present, success for me comes with the writing of my articles...and to have them read around the world on the Internet.  I get great joy, when an article gets published on the Internet, and hopefully, the pieces can make a difference in somebody's life someplace around the world, etc.  To date (3/10), over 100 of my 150+ articles have been published on more than 500 websites on the Internet, and can be seen at the following link;

As I said in the opening of this piece, success means different things to different people, and below is a list of quotes from many different people.

Since I can't find a way to end this piece successfully...does it mean that this piece will be unsuccessful?
