    do you live in the moment, or do you make all your decisions based on the future?

    do you plan far ahead? or do you take things as it comes?


    i'm just going to take a guess at this
    children of traditional asian parents are often brought up to believe that success is the ultamite goal, therefore lots of planning and preparation are involved throughout there entire life
    i'm going to assume most people who vote will voted for the FUTURE

    although if i was in a more multi-cultural forum, i believe the ratios would be a little more different

    Hmmm, instant gratification vs. long term benefit.

    I guess I am more incline to long term benefit, although I still procrastinate (instant gratification) :p

    I always try to think ahead. Doesn't mean I always act ahead.

    With day to day "minor" decisions, my mind is in the present, but for major decision that I have to make, I'm always thinking about how my decisions would effect me in the future. Mostly, I think my mind is towards the future.
