There's a lot of 'images of success' that can be found a lot closer to home- I have a picture of me and my sister that my dad took of us sat in the car in the mid-70s. On the back, it has our names, accompanied by the words 'Ford Cortina MkII'. How many people still have a picture of their first car? People take pictures at weddings, births, graduations and on holiday because, at a subconscious level, these all represent our 'success' at integrating into society and meeting its expectations. It might be interesting to get the kids to use pictures such as these to define what can be defined by success. Is it 'victory', power, the accumulation of wealth, relationships?
