I see the value of enjoying life while you're young; but at the same time, I don't want to be living off of cat food on crackers when I'm in my eighties.
I see satisfaction in a life of productivity. It's all about finding something you enjoy and value.
Now if only I'd do what I say instead of what I do.  |
That is a good list. I would only change 3 to 4 weeks to 3 to 4 months of vacation.
2 off in summer (June/July to see the world), 1 and a half off from Thanksgiving past New Years to relax and visit family. And a week off in Spring and Fall to catch up with things.
With the idea I had today about a product I could start a company around, this doesn't seem as far-fetched as it used to.
