People who grow up in very poor, hard-working families have two paths, given proper opportunity:
1) They become hyper-efficient and advance way way up, beating out any competitors with sheer determination
2) They grow used to having little and enjoying the heck out of it, and live a quiet life without ambition (cause it could always be worse)

I'm very much a #2 :p
so you can (and you do!) enjoy life even tho you have little wealth? I won't argue with that!

Do you think you are able to enjoy life so much because you have so little, or because you don't strive to obtain more? Perhaps both?

Do you think you would be more happy if you had even less?
i.e. if you didn't have the PC you are using (Im just using the PC as a example, it could be any object you own)

Do you think you would be more happy if you where less bothered about having the small things you enjoy now?
i.e. if you didn't want the PC you are using.

Sorry for all the questions! Your replys are very much appreciated!
