Wow, that's depressing. I mean, I guess it's good if you know that you don't have any dreams, that you just want to have a beer after work and never go anywhere in life... but wow, that's not for me. I'll shoot myself in the head the day I wake up and feel like that.
For me, growing up is all about HAVING dreams and WORKING on them, and having the freedom to do both of those things. Without those dreams I would become lifeless. Those are what keep you going beyond the 40-hour-a-week job, beyond the same old beer every night, working that extra 8-hours after work to make those dreams happen. I like the way you put it, Sage. I can tell we are kindred spirits...
So I guess I fall into the non-complacent group, according to Sage's categories. I have a hard time understanding the complacent group... if there is anyone out there who identifies with this, can you give me a better understanding of your perspective?
