Celebrate the freedom to live the life you want continued from p.34 We celebrate freedom and, in the context of other countries in the news, we are blessed to be living in one of the best countries in the world. We are free to earn a living and then decide how to allocate our nancial resources. What type of life do we want to lead? If you have a dream... live it. Be ambitious in what you want to achieve for yourself and your family. In that context, as the popular expression says, "the cup is half empty," so go forward and add what is most important. Achieve all that you want to achieve. This is by no means just focusing on material possessions. We do live in a materialistic consumer era; however, a large part of life does not equate to only nances. The popular expression also says "the cup is half full," so be thankful and enjoy every single day. Be thankful for all those who have contributed so much for what we now take for granted. Remember the famous line from In Flanders Field: "To you from failing hands we throw the torch." Our lives are the accumulation of our efforts. And that is only possible because of the efforts, contributions and sacri ces others have made on our behalf. Be thankful.
