1. On taking
transit - There is a chauffeur ready to take you to where you want to go at
almost any time of the day, it’s cheap, provides valuable thinking and internets time, and
if needed includes a handy BAC > 0 feature!
2. On walking/cycling
instead of having a car - Getting paid to significantly reduce the risk of the most
common causes of debilitation and death while improving your physique!
3. On not
having cable TV - People don’t routinely barge into your home unannounced and fabricate
a need in your mind which compels you to give them some of your freedom (i.e. money) or feel disadvantaged.
4. On room-mates - Getting paid to socialize!
5. On
cycling in the rain - Sprinklers are fun, how is this so different?*
6. On saving
money - Getting paid to figure out how to not buy things (or do so more
efficiently) where, after each discovery, the paycheque comes in for the rest
of your life by default!
7. On lifestyle
inflation - Disparaging the value in your past while sacrificing your future position
of strength.
8. On hardship - Stretching your perspective so
that your typical days, the ones you have the most, come to you easily and leave
you smiling!
9. On
failure - The number of times you have to fail before succeeding at something is
a pre-determined number that you are simply not aware of. What
you do know, is that you crossed one off the list. That same failure was also secretly crossed
off of dozens of other lists corresponding to other successes that you are not
yet aware of!
10. On grad
school – see numbers 1 through 9
--------------------------------
*When the answer is "because it's cold", I usually just fall back on trusty old number 8 : )
