If it were that simple, everyone would be happy!. It's not that simple!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is reminiscent of "To know, to do, to dare, and to keep silent," a revered alchemical formula of the higher life!.

"The Path of the Higher Self," Mark Prophet!.
"Chela on the Path," El Morya!.
"Man, Master of His Destiny," O!. M!. Aivanhov!.
"Testimony of Light," Helen Greaves!.
"The Great Divorce," C!. S!. Lewis!.

I think it's different for the majority of people!.
EX: for ATHLETES I think it would be S= study,Y= play, and NA (not availble) some of them dont keep their mouths shut!.
maybe S=study can be replaced by C=cheat!.

for those with CAREERS I think it would be X=work+Y= play & maybe keep their mouths shut, because some people need to speak up to move foward in success!. Remember some play while at work!.

for those with JOBS then I would some what agree with your formula; I would have it X=work, Y=keep your mouth shut, because if you were to speak and say somthing dumb, then there is possibilty for being fired; weekend comes around then there is Z=playWww@QuestionHome@Com

Maybe there's some validity to your theory, but have you done any experimentation to prove/disprove it!? I'd like to see your paper, if you have!.

I think A= X+Y+W, where W= trying your best to get on with others, which would includeZ at certain points!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Mathematically, it is correct because you are saying it is!. Philosphically, it is invalid because you have not provided adequate definitions of the variables and also because you are crazy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think I would put z as listen!. In some situations you have to speak up!. Maybe it's a little idealistic!. Life is not so simple!. I'd add a few more letters!. Maybe the whole alphabet!. Suffer, learn, empathize, respect, appreciate!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not exactly!.!.x+y+z without discipline or happiness isn't success !. As you can see by the answers -Success is different to different people !. But you can't be truly successful without happiness within !.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have not only completely misquoted Einstein via your negation of the work variable, but you have just formulated the most simple equation for anti-success ever postulated!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

a mathematical formula should give an exact answer under any circumstances!.!.!.!.this formula is wrong cause not everyone can work and play and keep their mouths shut while doing itWww@QuestionHome@Com

you cannot possibly formulate an equation for life, as there are far too many unknown variables!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
