YES!!! Very well done! I didn't know whether to comment here or to builderofcastles but the point is this (I hope he/she reads this). I'll use this analogy...my second wife used to always tell me things like: "You're so smart, you've been to college, you can do this, you can do that," ad infinitum. I told her that the people who are the most successful in this world, either financially or personally, are the ones that figure out who and what they are...and capitalize on it. As trivial as this might sound, she excelled at cleaning house. I talked her into putting an ad in the paper, helped her to get licensed & insured...now she has a successful business. The same holds true in our personal lives as well. Once you know who you are, you have a framework from which to view your goals. I hope that makes some sense...it's what I got from your fine article and builderofcastles' comment. I wasn't trying to talk about financial gain as much as personal.
