Hey, now I would like to ask how many of those PhD holders
Anyone that smart knows there is more to life than money, if you don't believe me, then let me rent you for a few hours. Yeah, thought so. So money ain't everything, its not even the most important deal. Living your life the way you see fit, the way that gives it meaning, the way that means something to you - that's the deal. Otherwise, why not stand out at corner of Post and Polk and gets 'ya some green. I hear they don't care much at that particular intersection of life.
Someone much wiser than myself once said, "there is both time and money, choose what you will save." I always thought you can have one, or the other - but not both.
I could make more, lots more. Hell, doing the dentist convention at Moscone pays twice what I make at the Fillmore. However, I'm far less interested in making dentists look like rock stars than I am about making rock stars look like rock stars. Silly I suppose, but it's my art, and I have the right to decide when and where I use it. That I would guess is pretty close to what being smart is really about, knowing what you want to do, and finding a way to do it - regardless of the money involved.
And far too many things, mostly involving time, don't require money. A day out at Ocean Beach, a lazy afternoon on Hippie Hill, smoking a bit, having a beer, listening to the drum circle, and watching the fog roll over Sutro Tower. Is that really worth a few bucks?
I just figure that the best moments in my life have been 'unbuyable' - not any any price, not by anyone else.
What exactly is that worth then?
