I work at Panasonic but besides that I have a shares in Restaurant business that sell Japanese food. I plan to own that business one day with my partner and quit the job at Pana. But I'm a moderate kind of person and living a moderate life. I no longer have any dream to own luxury car or luxury house although I plan to buy BMW motorcycle in couple of years. But what influence me to buy certain brands (its include luxury brand names) is my love toward certain countries e.g Germany, SK and Japan. So its not bcus of seeking a luxury life that put me into buying BMW or Mercs or Infiniti or Sony or BSH or Samsung etc but bcus of my love toward those countries that push me to buy their products. You can say I'm loyal.
Back to maim topic, I dont know if all that fits the term/definition of "successful people" but thats my "life".
