    A famous phrase from Horace's Latin poem, "Carpe diem" is usually translated as "seize the day." We should all "eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die", in other words, make the most of what you have in front of you because life is too short, and time waits for no one.

    At the same time, it is more than likely that you aren't going to die tomorrow, so it's also important to plan for the road ahead. Sometimes, you can't help but worry for the future, and it's also a part of growing up and being responsible.

    So how do you live your life? Are you someone who prefers to live for the moment or plan for the future?

    lol 'Dead Poet Society'. Loved that movie :D

    Answering the question, I live for the moment. The knowledge that death is a guarantee (despite advances in technology/science/medicine) is enough to put anything in perspective. :)

    Carpe diem!

    This is too much for my innocent ears [​IMG]

    I loved that movie too! One of my favorite movies of all time I think [​IMG]

    Back to topic: I tend to plan ahead into the future. I don't believe in living for the moment.

    For the longest time I was a "live for the day" kind of guy. I'd blow my dough on anything and everything, just incase I wasn't around to enjoy it tomorrow.

    Now, however, after realizing that I've got many plans in my future and no money to make them a reality, I've been forced to begin saving up. I've been doing pretty good lately, although it's been hard with all the crazy boxing day sales still going on. So many DVDs on sale... I feel like I need them all!

    Enjoy like you'll die tomorrow, live like you'll live forever.

    Do what you like, as long as you are sure you won't regret it in the long run. But heck, I am a hedonist. Who cares about tomorrow when there's enough alcohol.
