There must be a balance between "enjoy the present moment" and "long term sustainability"

In fact certain religion like Zen Buddhism is an advocate of mindfulness of present moment to attain enlightenment :p

Ya ya.. Sometimes I wonder accumulate money without spending for what.

Must balance btw "enjoy the moment" and "long term sustainability".

Dennis Ng was focus on the wealth accumulation but I don't know whether he enjoy the moments with his family and with his newfound wealth. But anyway, I respect the guy for being blunt. His death make me realised we cannot take money away.. Now can enjoy better enjoy.
