Quality, not Quantity
WHAAAAAA :( I gonna die younger than you...at 75...*sniff*, looks like I gotta get me some new gundams FAST!
When I first read your profile, I thought you seem like someone who just wants to brag about how much money he makes and being overly proud about what he has accomplished. But as I kept on reading, you seem to have some pretty good ideas about how to live life and I find it to be a very motivating and inpiring read. And yeah, Japan seems like one hellava place to stay or at least just to pay a visit... Hopefully this is gonna be my next travel destination. San
When I first read your theory on money and life, it came as quite a shock to me...I mean, I thought I was the only one who thought about things like that. I actually think that living to around 50 is enough...based on how my life is going at the moment...haha~! Anyway, this is cool. Good luck getting your plane as soon as possible~
I'm nearing 15 years of age and completely understand where you are coming from. I've been in almost the exact same state of mind ever since I left middle school. I honestly think at my age, its quite impossible to seek the kind of destination that you speak of. BUT in return it has let me live a much better life. I took time to reflect on my life and not take things for granted (most things) and I think it's good. People my age don't seem to understand how certain actions determine their lives and live a trendy lifestyle. To me that is completely immature and unnecessary. I'm glad you posted this. Thanks alot.
Very interesting read, I do agree with you about most statements although you never said anything about any religious beliefs. I myself is an almost 15 year old Christian, so that kind of guides my life principles.
Hey i read your ideas, and they part of them make sense to me. I found it very inspiring. and yes right now i'm living a lazy life, just thinking that i can do things tomorrow =/ but I was wondering.. what happens after you get to your 'destination' I mean do you get another one?... and after that one.. another one? and just keep getting tired of them when you get there. I mean that's a problem with many rich people. just a while ago, the manager of a country club i was working in killed himself for no reason. I mean he had acomplished so much. and there's so much people commiting suicide.... I think that, as you said, we have to enjoy life, do what we want to do most. and although, having a destination keeps you motivated.. i'm not really sure about it. I don't think that you believe in life after death. but I do, why? cause I have been dead.. kinda. I felt dead. and I survived, i felt alive again, somehow. eh.. well in the end, every person has their own believes and ideals. I sort of shared mine a little. thank you.
You inspire me every in every word. I can't help being lazy yet work hard too. I accomplished my first goal. which is to get to uni. My life have been going up and downs. I've been working on my future too...but i was required in another ones dreams to succeed. From what he said seems so real yet its a dream that he seems to lose. I'm lost in life at the moment. yet I try to accomplish things daily. Danny, your a great man to be remembered. v~post from below~v ee. I agree, people suicide with many reasons. either that there path to there dreams deceased or that they know that they cannot accomplish anymore. People seek new interests and desires where then some produce more. I guess we want to be creative yet also want to accomplish goals and rise above others. people pass down to the new generation with greed, ideas, hobbies, knowledge etc. People will never want to be alone. oh ... one said to me that. people who were born in march was generally smarter. I think it was funny how he thought it was true. I said (eventually lead him down yet laughing) that if people use their time (like every minute in studying) you learn new skills and pack in more knowledge to help reach your goal then you more likely to look professional in your area of interests. Yeah, main thing in life. Choose your interest of study. do it for yourself. not like my brother who just chose a route for making a business and earn cash for goodies. I don't wanna work in a environment that i dont like. working in a environment you like will boost your experience and quality in life! We all put a meaning in life. Religious? does that come in handy in life? Maybe. I'm not a religous person so i don't know what goes on withing your heads. Makes think how Science clash with believes tho. Like posthumans running a Simulation of us...deos that mean god is a posthuman watching how we develop in a super computer?
Salute!!.. You' are living my dream .. as i am still chasing one....
Thank you for your words of inspiration, I know you wrote this a long time ago, but even though I think about it every day, this helps me to re-focus on my goals. Im sure that I wont live to be 80 (even though most men in my family live past that), but I really want to die knowing I didnt miss anything. I guess a trip to Japan is in order then.
Although you've written this post a few years ago, I would still like to comment if you don't mind.
I really liked what you wrote, and I kind of envy you...Well I guess not 'kind of', but REALLY envy you. Because you've got a goal, and you strive to do your best, me on the other hand...I KNOW that I need to strive my best, and I KNOW that if I don't I will get nothing done and when my time comes to leave this hell I will dissapointed by what I've done, and what I haven't, and I also know that I can and probably WILL any day now, but for some reason it just doesn't get me going anywhere...just sitting here and letting time float by. Hah hah! Wow, it sounds like i'm telling my life story. That's kinda sad. Well, i'll just leave now. =)
It's good o have a goal in life
Aww man... Mine says I'll die at the age of 74... And I'm younger than you LOL~
Danny, I would really like to say your experiences are really inspiring, you are living the dream of a lot of people here, and still you try to teach us and try to make us grow, or so I feel. Keep up the good work, hope I meet you in person someday ^^....
Oh I forgot to say that I also got that I shall die at the age of 80 :O
Woo, I got 90, that was surprise! Danny, I liked reading this article very much, and the other one on "destination" also. I'm 25 and my sight of destination is apparent, however still blurred. I know what I want to do, I know what I am capable of, but it is not exact. For the last few years, I have felt peace in simply "feeling" my way through life, using my intellect and capabilities at hand, or sometimes not. Once you know what you can do and like, you can do it, but I find when trying to become an artist, there are so many ways of going about it. I'm still not entirely sure what *kind* of artist I want to be, I just know that I'm good at it. I also like to write, but I had not been entirely sure what to write until lately. I'm following that feeling now, and it feels good, but I still don't know exactly where I'm headed. But I do feel like I could make a good future from what's contained inside me. It's not clear, but it's a warm feeling. To put it short, (if you're an artist) I think the motto is not to see the destination, but to feel it. If it feels uncomfortable, not in your heart, try something else.
way to go danny. let us all put all of our strength and determination to get to our destinations. danny, you better show me those picture of YOUR plane and i know you will
I think that everything someone can tell you about with passion inspires people. This article sure did inspire me. Actually i've read a lot of similar "stoys" as of late. You always hear to make small goals to accomplish a much larger goal. That may be the path i'm on right now. For me until recently it was always, complete that school, complete that exam, complete that job apprenticeship..now that i'm through with it and work a 9to5 job i feel kind of lost. It's storys and everyday posts like yours that helps one to re-focus on what is (or what you want to be)important if you want to accomplish a higher goal. I may have plans made up, but the uncertainty, which job to work to get the rent paid, it's hard to come by with making harsh decisions. Just wanted to let you know that your positive energy re-ignited some of my determination to become what i 'm looking for. Keep up the good work!
If only we have a choice.. that our warranties won't expire. Everytime an individual dies a whole library vanishes. ..puff! Technological advancements are too delayed to counter this at the moment. But remember a time when no human can fly and soar the skies, look back to now, hoards of us are flying... Come to think of it, there's nanomachines on the way, cyberization as an option (a la Raiden MGS4) I'm waiting for my Raiden RAH to arrive though. It symbolizes possibilities to me... http://www.functionalisminaction.com/2007/05/ethic and Cloning is just around the corner. Hopefully before our warranties expire immortality is going to be a real option. For now, I reminisce what Naomi said to Snake at the end of MGS1 "...you must live Snake..."
My bad, here's the working link: http://www.functionalisminaction.com/2007/05/ethics-of-cyberization.html
If dannychoo.com goes down for more than a month - it means that I have died and did not get to my destination or buy one of these planes - Or perhaps you did get to buy one, but maybe crash and burned on the first test flight? :D Just kidding... I hope nothing like that happens to you Danny!

I always appreciate hearing different peoples views on this type of subject. Ever since I first started coming to this site regularly, Ive found myself envious of your lifestyle, and have thought to myself "What are the principles, and beliefs that drive this guy to such a successful point, without sacrificing modesty and happiness?" Im really glad you wrote this article, it's pretty inspiring.
According to that test, I'm going to die at a really advanced age.
