Daniel M. Gilbert Quotes
We Treat Our Future Selves As Though They Were Our Children, Spending Most Of The Hours Of Most Of Our Days Constructing Tomorrows That We Hope Will Make Them Happy ... But Our Temporal Progeny Are Often Thankless. We Toil And Sweat To Give Them Just What We Think They Will Like, And They Quit Their Jobs, Grow Their Hair, Move To Or From San Francisco, And Wonder How We Could Ever Have Been Stupid Enough To Think They'd Like That. We Fail To Achieve The Accolades And Rewards That We Consider Crucial To Their Well-being, And They End Up Thanking God That Things Didn't Work Out According To Our Shortsighted, Misguided Plan.
