We do lose sight of what is important. The question remains how to balance contentment with ambition. Am I wrong to make sacrifices and take risks for my career or investments? Being content can come off as lazy. If everyone was content there would be no innovation. how can this be reconciled? Nice post. We do lose sight of what is important.

Just look at all the hype over the iPhone last year! It’s something I feel very strongly about: “The same goes for everyone who’s ever bought a house, a car, or even a new pair of designer jeans because they thought it would make them happy. I’m guessing that feeling didn’t last long. How could it? At the end of the day, you can accumulate as much stuff as your garage (or closet) can accommodate and it probably won’t change a thing. It really doesn’t matter. The colors will fade and the technology will change. All that will remain is you. Now that’s something worth buying into.” (From Calling All Customers) Materialism is out of control. Just look at all the hype over the iPhone last year! It’s something I feel very strongly about:
