What's the British/English Dream?

[decaff 10]

I see nothing wrong in that concept, in fact I would go as far as seeing it as a dream, so I'm probably in your minority. Expecting something for nothing is a different concept.

 

I've learnd that acquiring money is only a means to freedom, you can't consume yourself to happiness.

 

Yup i guess i should have phrased it a little differently. People who are efficient at what they do and can churn out in an hour what others take longer to do deserve to be paid more.

 

I was getting at the idea of people expecting something for nothing. Doing zero hours work and expecting payment for it. That seems to be the dream of more and more people these days.

 

Money can't make you happy, happiness is comprised of many different factors...money is but one of those factors.

I have found integrity to be the most consistent measure of a persons true success.

 

Well said that man. That makes two of us.

Thanks man. Be nice to see integrity making a comeback. Nice to meet you.

Normally yes but I'm not sure I'd use that term to describe today's Jeremy Kyle generation.

 

I don't think they really do as little as possible for as much as possible though. They merely do the first half.

I do as little as possible work for the maximum amount of reward, which doesn't mean that I don't work, it just means that I balance how hard I work with the potential reward.

I always felt the British always had a strong sense of fairness over freedom.

 

Money can't make you happy, happiness is comprised of many different factors...money is but one of those factors.

 

I think you totally nailed it, bro.

What about being a celebrity? Doesn't seem to matter what the fame is FOR, so long as it's there...

I dont know, having more kids just to get more social and a bigger house from the council's pretty ****ty in my opinion!

 

I'm exactly the same though, these days work/life balance is as important to a lot of people than actual success at work.

I've tried to understand your signature, and failed. Is that the point of it?

erm.. no, the comment I made has nothing to do with my sig.

Well, I can't speak for everyone else, but in my case it involves Kate Ashfield and a pot of honey.
