First off, Bob isn’t a “hippie child.” He was disillusioned with the hippie movement as early as 1965. Second, Bob says a lot of things that are hilarious or flip. You can’t take a lot of what he’s saying seriously. Third, he’s riffing off Ben Franklin, I’d dare bet, and this is his sense of humor coming out. Fourth, I think he’s right.

I’d say it is the right answer…personal experiences are entirely subjective and we do not all value the same things with the same weight. Dylan is bang on here, in that a true success is a person who knows what they want to do in life and then does exactly that..irregardless of what that may be

Well, I kind of see what he means, but it can’t be taken literally. After all, a drug addict does what he wants to, right?
