I have been on this newsgroup (ARBR) for at least 4 years now and Mr.
Sherman has been bellyaching about not getting enough pay for his
engineering services from day one. If he were married and had 10 kids I
could perhaps sympathize with him but he is single and should be leading
the
life of Riley if he had any sense.
The secret to my life style is knowing how to live poor. Others envy me
all
my free time (leisure) and I do not envy them their wealth which they have
to work damn hard for. This drives them crazy. Hells Bells, if I wanted to
be wealthy like Mr. Sherman I would have to work too.
The only thing in life that matters to me is leisure. Unlike most, I know
how to spend this precious commodity. I did not waste my time reading
Tolstoy's "War and Peace" for nothing. I learned how the nobility lived
and
I put it to good use in my personal life.
Americans worship at the altar of hard work. They will choose work over
leisure every time. It is as if they do not know what to do with leisure.
They even turn their vacations into work. I was born out of my time and
place. I should have lived the life of an English lord in the 19th
century.
