Re: [ESL Podcast] Discussion of the Week:'Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans.'

Rafael Oshiro <rafael.osh...@gmail.com>

Hi Claire!!

This quotation is suitable for our daily and busy days we are used to live.
I completely agree with that, even though I forget about live the life very
often, because I'm worried about my job or other problems. I believe this is
the culture of ocidental countries, give much effort to work and let our
lives in second plan.

Now, replying your questions:

#1. How many jobs do you expect to have in your life?
In my area, it's quite usual to exchange jobs/companies. So I expect to have
8 or more jobs in my life.

#2. In 15 years' time,do you expect to be working more or less than now?
I strongly expect I'll be working less than today.

#3.At what age do you expect to stop working?
I'm still in doubt about that, it's really hard to say at what age I expect
to stop working. I plan to stop working at 60 or before. Not much before,
because working is good for our mind as well. This may be a good age to take
a rest and enjoy even more the life.

#4. Do you see yourself as somebody who is spontaneous and live for the
moment or who thinks and plans for the future?
I see myself as a person who always make plans for the future.

Good day for all
Oshiro
