@ Damien
Maybe I should tell them to pass it to Alvin instead
Hmm I think in 2009, there will not be many people who have such mindset. LOL. Does that mean all of them can see themselves staying alive beyond 2009?

These people you spoke to who say enjoy now while you can, ask them if they have any savings or investments. If they do, then tell them they are breaking their own rule because money stashed away is money sitting there not being enjoyed (who knows, lightning might strike them at any moment). Tell them why not withdraw all their money today and give it to Damien, and he’ll show them a really good time, hahaha.

@ Edrei
The ideal scenario is to have both and I believe there are people who are doing just that. But most often than not, people do need to sacrifice certain things in order to pursue their dreams. And most people, after seeing these sacrifices, are not willing to take up the challenge. They rather enjoy the life now than pursue something which they can’t see yet.

What's wrong with doing both? The thing about pursuing dreams is that at the end of it, it's a win-win scenario. You get to enjoy life by doing what you want to do. I rather that over slaving on some job which I hate, 9-5 everyday for the rest of my life. Some people call me insane for pursuing my dreams up and beyond my limits as a person. I say, if you're going to spend the rest of your life in a cubicle or an office you hate, you're the one that's insane. Edreis last blog post..Australiana Bound
