Many people don't realize that the golden intersection of health, time, and money is incredibly brief. Most of us only get about ten years where we have all three.
* When you're young, you have health and time, but you don't have money.
* After you start working, you might have health and money, but you're working like a dog, so you have no time.
* And when you get old and retire, you finally have money and time, but after a serious illness, you realize you no longer have your health.
The greatest meaning in life is to make yourself happy. This is how Chua Lam(蔡瀾)summed up the topic:
"What is the meaning of life, after all? Eat a little better, sleep a little better, have some more fun, don't envy others, don't follow the rules, accumulate more life experience, and have no regrets when you die. That's the greatest meaning, isn't it? It's not complicated at all."
Everyone knows that health is important, but maintaining it requires a time commitment. Both a healthy diet and exercise require time and effort. When it comes to your life and your money, here are a few quotes I've selected:
* "The money you spend is exchanged for your life."
* "Every dollar is a direct exchange for a piece of your limited time on earth."
* "The question isn't how much money you make, but what you exchange that money for."
* "Financial independence isn't about how much money you have, but about a life no longer controlled by money."
* "You are truly rich only when you have enough time and energy to do what you love."
* "Learning to measure 'enough' is more important than always chasing 'more'."
