Transcript:
Pig: What are you doing Rat? Rat: I'm sitting in the 'Box O' People Who Enjoy Success.' Pig: What's that? Rat: What's it look like? It's a box for people who enjoy success. Pig: What's that? Rat: What's it look like? It's a box for people who enjoy success. Pig: Gee I'd like to get in. But it looks pretty packed. Rat: Of course it's packed. Everyone loves success. Pig: So why don't they just get into the empty box next to it? Rat: Because it's different. Pig: Yaay for you guys.

I suspect that the box for people who like to work for their success might also have fewer individuals (though more successful ones) than the first box.

There used to be a much bigger box called “Successful for no reason,” but it exploded when all three Kardashians tried to fit their rumps into it at once.

Pig has it right. With all the success stories around us, why shouldn’t we enjoy it?

C’mon Steph – You can do better than that. Although I suppose you’re allowed a dud once in a while.

Rat has success, but it isn’t what society, his friends, his neighbours, his family call success. His psychiatrist maybe.

Pig is experience “mudita” and bless him for it! :-)

What about the box for people who work their fingers to the bone with little compensation so that others can have all the success?

I would sit in both of those boxes but it’ll be difficult.
Very difficult.

The first thing I thought of when I saw people sitting in a cardboard box is the “Box of Stupid People.”

Notice that it just says they enjoy success, not that they have success.
