Just imagine being him, and she announces this, and you stand up, and there they are.
The feeling of significance within yourself that so few of us will ever taste.
You could die and go straight to Heaven right then, your entire life fulfilled right there, in that moment. Every second of life you get from then on is an extra bonus after that.
There are three levels to living:
Survival - most are born and live out their lives at this level, scarcely two paychecks away from destitution, hardly any savings at retirement
Success - even in the USA, some percentage less than half will reach this level where all their needs are comfortably met and will be for life
Significance - only a tiny fraction ever reach this level where all their needs are met, and they have plenty left over to prosper others with and make a significant difference in their lives
Success is an artificial standard. How about the person who pollutes the least and leaves the planet in the same or better condition than when you arrived? That is success to me.
I agree largely, yet if that person is living paycheck to paycheck, scanning the right side of the menu instead of the left to see what they'll order, in constant peril of running out of money if something unforeseen occurs, then they are in survival mode whether they recognize it or not
old habits are hard to break. I scan the prices even when on a company tab. I can't help it. It just bothers me to pay ridiculous prices for something. And I am a good tipper and like to help people. I guess it comes from times where even paycheck to paycheck had a deficit. Not fun.
