How do I define success? How do you? How does the society?
Every human being instinctively tends to have the dream of a peaceful life full of freedom. But mine is way more esoteric and at the maximum of peace and freedom.
I like to do freediving, get lost in the depths of the sea, look up and observe the sea surface shining and breaking the sunlight from, the bottom, to gain a different perspective. I am studying aerospace engineering just because I didn’t want to be a pilot due to its—again—time freedom limitations, but still wanted to deal with airplanes and to fly as a hobby with a simple propeller plane in my thirties.
I also have other passions like vintage cars, especially every Porsche from 60s to early 2000s. I love experiencing new countries, cultures, food, people. Particularly the hot ones—hot countries I mean.
So it’s a true utopia and the final dream for me to live in an old wooden house on a southern Italian coast with an Australian retriever, not far from a hobbyist airport and with my 930 and 997 in the garage, so that my hardest challenge is to decide what to do on Sundays: diving and spearfishing something for the dinner, going to a short camp with my Porsche and buddy in Italian mountains or observing the Sicilian island from above in my Cessna 174 on several hundred feet?
But as I just indicated, this is the most final one, the final dream. And I honestly wouldn’t want to accumulate all this by tomorrow. It would be too boring and purposeless. It’s time to give everything—every bit of focus, energy, motivation, inspiration and most importantly time into improving myself and trying to take out the maximum potential of me.
There are lot more goals which are way more immediate and prioritized than that. I want to lock in in my 20s, retire my family, pay all their debts, accumulate—my and their—time, financial and geographical freedom, and eventually spend as much time as possible with them without any doubt or anxiety and take most optimally care of them, but also accumulate all the possible opportunities for my future family and kids, become the best at what I do, prove myself—again—to myself, make my family proud, be a useful individual who serves humanity for good, also raise my children like so, but most importantly build up the character who deserves achieving all this.
Neither the money nor the fame means anything to me as long as these goals that define my success remain unachieved.
