Well... I'll probably be the odd man out when I say I'll probably "stay in third gear" so to speak. I enjoy a simple life.

A coupla others that always appealed to me...

"I'll be a devil, till I'm an angel...
...Gonna dance, gonna fly,
I'll take a chance riding high,
Before my number's up, I'm gonna fill my cup,
I'm gonna live, live, live, live, live until I die!"
-Sinatra

-and-

"I'm gonna keep on the run
I'm gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke up well
I'll always remember that I had a swingin' time"
-Elvis
 
Yeah, John I agree with what you are saying...and when that quote was sent to me, I just dug it. But I hesitated to post it because I thought it could be taken that way...that the only way to live life is to live life fast...
I dont agree with that either.

I choose to interpret the quote as meaning; don't sit in the corner, dont be afraid, try new things, its okay to indulge sometimes... find the way that is most meaningful to you to enjoy this ride. And as long as you aren't hurting anybody, and you live bravely and experience many things, you will live richly and will have done it right!
 
I think the sentiment works better when you're young. It did for me. As I got older, I slowed down realizing, perhaps, that I was mortal. :thumbsup: Oh, I still enjoy life, just a little more moderation now. :beer: Of course, there were some fun times back then.
 
"I see men, sixty, seventy years old breaking their balls to stay fit! What for? When I die, I want to be sick, not healthy."
Daryl Van Horne in The Witches of Eastwick

Ya just gotta remember, people weren't designed to outlive their teeth.

"When I die, I would like to go peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather did. Not screaming and yelling like the passenger in his car."
