Putting Life in Perspective

Elvis made more money then I did last year, and he's dead. What's that say about my work ethic when a dead guy makes more money then me?

bigscoop, I think I can brag about work ethic too.. Most panhandlers made more than me last year

you don't work hard enough is what it says about you!



nah, I get ya....life is so unfair, someone told me that one time, and you know what, they are right!

life is what you make of it, what you want from it. It's a balance between work and play. You trade off part of your life in work so you can play or do the things that give you pleasure.

Elvis traded off to much, he killed himself for his quest for fame. In essence, he burned himself out. Not many people think that kind of tradeoff is worthwhile.

Most people look at money as an indicator of success, I look at pleasure as an indicator of success. I have no regrets. Frank

I've cut so many corners, that all I have left is a very small circle; smaller than a bottle cap too

I did that year ago, all I had to do was splice into my neighbors and I got free cable to boot

This thread was all in fun.........given that I'd now like to add that I can still buy & eat Twinkies. Elvis can't! Life is so very delicious!

I'm with Frankn-great philosophy on life you have there!!!

Elvis's downfall was his inability to heed the word "no" either from himself or those close to him. Another great person burned too bright, too quickly.

There is a bright side to this story. I remember, as a young boy, I wished I was Elvis 'cause all the girls were crazy over him. Now, Elvis wishes he was me.
