Life's a bitch... or perhaps a beach...
perhaps you want a bit of both!
A high paying cushy job... or the grime and glory of pursuing a dream...
mind you the glory is not guaranteed. But those who start loving the grime don't give a flying f%#$ about the glory.
A wardrobe full of brands for yourself... or spending that fat paycheck for a cause...
yes it's fashionable to do the latter and then go to the club to sip a few bottles of wine over self-gloating narratives. Spend it on the brands, the deprived of the world don't need your charity... they will survive anyway.
Travel for pleasure... or travel home to meet the people who matter...
that's a relatively more acute issue for all you expats. Take that pleasure trip, your folks will still be there when you get back. But if you can, take them along stupid!
A good book on a lazy afternoon... or a smashing workout...
this one isn't necessarily an individual choice. So I am gonna go with that classic answer... IT DEPENDS! :D
Girl next door... or the hot-bod at the gym...
look closer, the one next door may have an equally hot bod ;)
I suppose it's not about choices all the time. It is possible to marry the 2 sides and make it more beneficial for all. That would translate to expanding the pie by bringing the pieces together. And therein lies the skill...
So where's that girl next door??? ;)
