<p>LongPrime – very cute post. I enjoyed it.</p>
<p>The old saw, “The journey not the arrival matters,” has some truth to it, and “No gets to take his/her toys when s/he dies.” So if we don’t enjoy the ride, our destination is the same no matter how many goodies we accrue along the way.</p>
<p>I understand the idea of being outcome and not experience oriented, but I think a mixture of the two is the most successful life plan. No, we do not want to fund a lifetime of navel watching, but I <em>would</em> fund a philosophy degree as long as my kid knew that s/he would eventually have to earn a living. Oh yeah, that’s another thread.</p>
