re: The tortoise and hare approach to life

I think people are misunderstanding my point. I’m not saying everyone should work 60 hours a week or make $250k a year. I’m talking about doing your best at whatever your doing. If someone makes $30k a year and is taking care of business and is happy living on that amount, that’s great. I’m talking about people that want to make $100k and have the ability to, but are only making $30k because they lack the discipline to do what it takes to move up, and are unable to take care of basic necessities while living stressed to the max.

I lived in the South Pacific and gained an appreciation for that way of life. The people worked a few hours a day farming or fishing and spent the rest of the day sleeping, socializing or playing rugby. Their basic needs were met and they were happy. I could live that way, but can you bet your arse, I won’t be playing rugby until the farming or fishing is done and done well.

I’ve got nothing against the tortoise. I’m railing on the hare.
