• The important things

  One of the things I've learnt about money early in life was from a comic book I read.  In Lone Wolf and Cub, one of the characters mentioned something to the effect of, two bowls of rice, that's all a man can eat, that's all he really needs.  Can't bring anything out of this world when you die.  It's struck me the importance of getting one's priorities in life right.

  Of course, it'll be nice and good to have a lot, lot of money.  Don't have to work, can buy whatever you want, etc.  But nevertheless, I am happy.  I think I'm easily contented.  I have... enough.  More would be good.  Less wouldn't be good, but it wouldn't mean the end of the world to me.

  Sometimes people get the wrong priorities in life.  You only get to live once.  Every second ticks on.  Sometimes you find something good and important.  You don't throw those things away; you treasure things - like friendship.
