At any rate what does brokenhearted have to do with success? I’m still pretty damned brokenhearted and I am reasonably successful. I don’t believe that it’ll get that much better as I become even more successful The two aren’t mutually exclusive.
When I say success, I mean material, career, or financial success. And there are varying degrees of it. I’m certainly not at some high pinnacle, but I’m very comfortable.
Romantic success on the other hand, well I believe that that has more to do with luck, though it still takes hard work to KEEP up, than does career and financial success. Which is, btw, what the OP was talking about.

‘Broken-hearted’, in the context I was using it, has nothing to do woth romance. I meant people who, despite working very hard, never quitting, never giving up, yet they die without reaching either their dreams, or even the material success you speak of. That is a truly broken heart, and there are far more of them than there are of people who achieve what you have.
