Hi,

	This may be really corny, but there was a board game that I 
played when I was a kid (I think it was called "Careers").  Anyway, the 
idea was that you predicted what it would take to make you happy in 
life.  You then wrote down how many "hearts" (happiness) you wanted to 
get, how much $ (money), and how many "*" (fame/power).  You then went 
around the board doing the game.  As you played, you made decisions to 
get your hearts, bucks, and stars.  The person who first got his or her 
goals won.

	Sounds to me like a couple of rounds of careers may spark the 
conversation you'd like to have with your daughter.
