I used to watch it too as a kid. And I loved "Thirtysomething."<br /><br />I agree with tim rice that it's all about balance. <br /><br />IMHO, in the end Madonna may have been right: (almost) nothing really matters... and so on. Some research done at Harvard suggests that it's not the actual amount of money people make that "satisfies" them, but their affluence relative to their peers: people would rather be earning $50K if their peers were making $35 than earning $100K if their peers were making $125K. And if you can get rid off the constant comparing, well, I'd say you're all set! Economic researchers have also found that beyond a certain income level X, people's happiness doesn't increase much at all. <br /><br />So it seems that job satisfaction and life satisfaction are, to a large extent, not dependent on material issues: it's more important to be comfortable with why you work and what the work is about and whether it meets your needs and reflects your personal values. That's priceless. <br /><br />Just my two cents.TCPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17310643773401477350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20545109.post-1159952320486149682006-10-04T10:58:00.000+02:002006-10-04T10:58:00.000+02:00that's okay.

I hope I didn't stretch your brain too much by my photo. ;) <BR/><BR/>Here's the response I made to your comment: The original picture was a creek lined with trees on either side.
