Life is short, and I agree with the author, you won&#x27;t remember most of the hours you spend working.<p>If I had 10 dollars for every set of stock options  that I&#x27;ve been granted I&#x27;d be a hundred-aire by now.<p>I&#x27;ve lost count of the number of times I&#x27;ve been told, that if I just work really hard right now, I&#x27;ll be able to retire soon.<p>Every time I read an article about some employees making big bucks off their stock options or six figures off an iPhone app, I see that for what it is: propaganda designed to make sure we keep feeding our young bodies into the machine.<p>That machine will grind you up and spit you out like hamburger on the other side.<p>Life is short as I said, and it seems to go faster the further along you are.<p>Work as little as you can, and if you must work, try to work for yourself.
