Paris Hilton is one of the most successful businesswomen of the century? Only because she was born into wealth. If she'd been born in a trailer park, I highly doubt she'd be a businesswoman of any kind.

Even so, Einstein is still right. Businesspeople aren't generally known for enjoying the moment. They're looking ahead to where they can make the next buck. That's what business is!

I completely disagree with hoopla. Paris Hilton is one of the most successful businesswomen of the century.

And I completely agree with the quote. Americans rarely live a full life. They are always working, always worrying about money.

Unless you count being the most prolific vajayjay flasher as something worth being.

I am a European working for an American company - I think it is still very much the case

And look where it has gotten us. I prefer the Taoist principle that I am a human being, not a human doing.
