Re: Is it all about the money?

i forgot my standard response, so i'll just say that i still kind of like poker, do not have big ambitions, enjoy the chair, like the couch, and love my bed.

everytime i get some money i want more, but i'm okay with that.

Re: Is it all about the money?

It's all about the money until you have a certain amount. That amount is different for everyone. After that imo you should try and make the world a better place for the less fortunate.

I believe the lower that amount is, the more heart you have.

Heart doesn't go very far in business.

I'm only 20

I seem to like poker a lot more than most poker players.

I have a feeling most of you are the same, but have been exposed to it in the wrong ways.
All of this stuff requires a lifetime of dedication though. And I share your views completely - I want to discover the secrets of the universe, and spend years traveling the world, and write a book encompassing the history of civilization and the rise and fall of empires while trying to figure out what it all says about the human condition, and become a leading designer of tons of kickass videogames.

But, like, even doing one of those (aside from traveling obv, which requires money) is insanely difficult and requires 20+ years of dedication. And while these are all somewhat romanticized ideas we have in our heads about the things we want to do/become, I sure as hell hated my physics/chemistry classes in college. On the way to becoming an expert in a field like that, which would certainly be awesome and interesting, there's still a ton of boring, grinding work to do.

21, but mature for my age!

meh, i dont' really want it to change. obviously someday i'm going to do something, but i don't really need it to be something super intellectually stimulating. i'll probably coach a sport or something, i just dont' want to go off trading stocks or launching nuclear warheads or solving the answer to life like most ppl do in this thread / forum
