今日感じたことです。
未来の形を、自分自身で作りたい人がいます。
その一方で「果報は寝て待て」ではないですが・・
未来が、どうにかしてくれるのを待っている人がいます。
あなたは、どちらの側の人なのでしょう・・。
折角生まれてきた以上は、「よい人生を！」を過ごしたいものです。
ところで、英国メディアのサイトを眺めていると、英国紙ガーディアンの「Balancing work and the good life」という下記記事に辿り着きました。
比較的読みやすい部分を抜粋しました。（ご参考までに。）
People mean many different things when they speak about quality of life.
Low crime rates, fresh air to breathe, good restaurants, access to the countryside or coast; any of these could be an interpretation of the good life.
However, quality of life seems to be determined mostly by where we live and work. Next month, employee consultancy Mercer publishes its latest annual Quality of Living survey - a ranking of cities around the world.
It says there are some factors that most people agree on as being important for having good quality of living standards, such as safety and security, reliable health care, transport infrastructure, good housing and schooling and recreation opportunities.
Quality of Living vs. the quality of life
The Quality of Living index is based on several criteria used to judge whether an expatriate is entitled to a hardship allowance. A city with a high Quality of Living index is a safe and stable one, but it may be lacking the dynamic je ne sais quoi that makes people want to live in world-renowned cities such as Paris, Tokyo, London or New York. Sometimes you need a little spice to make a city exciting. But that "spice" may also give a city a lower ranking.
What makes one person's quality of life better or worse cannot be quantified in an objective index.
Therefore, Mercer's Quality of Living report reflects only the tangible aspects of living in a city on expatriate assignments, and leaves the question of the quality of one's life to those living it!
