Einstein’s definition of success was that it equaled X plus Y plus Z. X is Work, Y is Play, and Z is keeping your mouth shut.
In the published board game, Fame, Happiness and Money points were all roughly equivalent to one another. You earned these by entering occupations and landing on the relevant squares. You could also buy Fame or Happiness if you had enough cash, or gamble your cash in the casino.
In 1989, Pamela Anderson, wearing a Labatt’s Beer T-shirt, was watching a football game in a Vancouver stadium when she appeared on the Jumbotron screen. The fans went wild. Labatt’s jumped on the opportunity and hired her as a spokesmodel. She went on to appear on the cover of Playboy that same year. And the rest is history.
Fame = sorted.
But after a successful career and 3 unsuccessful marriages, Pam spent too much money renovating her home, and realized that she couldn’t pay the back taxes she owed. She declared bankruptcy in 2012.
Don’t be like Pamela Anderson. But only where money is concerned.
