It is a small internal psychological complex that was created in childhood, and propels the individual forward all his life. It is close to impossible to change this allconsuming drive yourself. You need deep psychological inspection if you want to change it in order to take it easy and enjoy life. Billionaires, for all their money and wealth, tend to work until they die. They know no other life. When my mother died she asked me not to become like that, but to remember to enjoy life. I try to, sometimes I do succeed. ;) My wife forces me to travel, so I do work outside, in the sun for a couple of months per year. > As for his "limited life-span", well, we'll > see what cyberization tech provides a few > years on eh ? :-) > > Hmmm ...
