Life changes / Non, Je ne regrette rien
Over the course of my twenties I've probably found some goals worth pursuing. I'd figured out what the most precious resources are. Remember: you can always make more money. That house, plane, sailing boat that you've always wanted isn't going to make you that much happier. The only finite resource in our lives is time. Take the words of someone who should know: Randy Pausch, Professor at CMU, 46 years of age and dying. Pausch tells us to have fun more than anything else (short and long video). Having fun is quite probably not the result of the quick fixes life has to offer (you know: a bungee jump, a good movie, great dinner, getting laid ...). Having fun also means to enjoy having made a difference in your job, having achieved some dreams, and having tried hard to achieve others.
So, I've been having fun. I've been laughing about myself, with, about and at others. On my 30th birthday, I made one big life change. I bought 24 pairs of black socks. So I don't have to find vaguely matching pairs any longer.
I'm glad that was the only change needed.
