Tomo, Developer

“I think there would be some drugs involved to be honest… and some elements of hedonism and a lot of music. I think I would enjoy a mix of those 3 things.”

Salah, Coffee Shop Owner

“People are greedy and always want more: lots of money, girls, fun nights out. When you’re young you want everything fast, you don’t know what’s important. As you get older, you realize that the things that matter are the small things, the things you take for granted. You never realize what you have until you lose it.”

Sparky, Waiter

“When I was a kid there was a river behind my place. I would go there and fish the whole morning. When I catch something I just bring it back to my Grandma and say, ‘Hey I have some fish. We have food today.’ At that time my family was very poor so I had to live far away from my parents and live with my grandma. We tried to grow rice, vegetables, chickens, everything we can to have food everyday. For me a perfect day when I catch some fish to bring back to my grandma. It would make me proud.”

Dwight, Retired Accountant

“I can’t waste time, I can’t waste my life. Most people are like this as they evolve over time: they have lots of time cause they have their entire life in front of them and don’t have any money so they spend their entire time making money. And that’s what I did certainly throughout my career. What I am in short supply of is time, I can’t buy more time. If I was to earn no additional revenues I could live 180 years at my current lifestyle.”

“I’ve been lucky to live nearly 40 years, and through trial and error, come closer to an understanding of my perfect day.  What is the good life? How do I want to live my few days on earth? Wouldn’t life be amazing, meaningful, a gift, if we were to repeatedly live our perfect day?”
