[OSList] Ridiculous quote from David Orr ..."The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people"

Loving words, and knowing that people write and revise dictionaries, I
tried a few dictionaries online. Here's what the Cambridge Dictionary says:
achieving <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/achieve>
desired <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/desired>
results <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/result>, or
achieving <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/achieve>
the result <https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/result> of
making a lot of money
<https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/money>:
a successful architect
<https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/architect>/doctor
<https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/doctor>/lawyer
<https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/lawyer>
Fortunately, my second attempt
<https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/attempt> at starting
<https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/start> a business
<https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/business> was more
successful than my first
The Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English Usage says:
1 achieving <https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/achieve> what you
wanted, or having the effect <https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/effect>
or result <https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/result> you intended
<https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/intend> The operation was
successful. a highly successful (=very successful) meetingsuccessful in
(doing) something Were you successful in persuading him to change his mind?2
a successful business <https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/business>,
film <https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/film>, product
<https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/product> etc makes a lot
<https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/lot#lot__7> of money The show’s had
a pretty successful run. a highly successful (=very successful) product
I love this one: the top rated Urban Dictionary entry is this!
Being able say you are truly happy having
<https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=happy%20having> something in
life <https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=in%20life> that just
makes you smile even through the bad
<https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=the%20bad> stuff
That reminds me the most of Open Space!
