“Because every minute spent doing something other than what you love most today is a minute you’re more likely to regret when you’re 80.”
I think the opposite is true. Most things that I hated doing when I was 20, I’m today at 49 happy that I did. Workout, do the homework, even my military service.
Many things I loved doing in the moment, play video games all through university, for example, I’m not so sure about.
- cthaeh 7y agoIf 80 year old thinks that not playing video is more regretful than not working out, then nothing anyone says about living a good life or being productive applies to you
- qplex 7y agoI'm absolutely glad that I did things _my way_ instead of succumbing to some general false conceptions of "doing the right thing". This includes things like skipping military service and basically living as an outlaw for many years because of that. I've also played a lot of video games and consider that time well spent.
