Just a thought.
I know quite a few who really need to learn this.
Not often, but sometimes I have to remind myself this too.

Passing through life with very loosely-held expectations is the best bet.

I agree, it's happened to me as well.
I try to keep my drive high, but my expectations on the lower side.
A lot of people responding to this in monetary terms. Are you sure that was the intent of the original poster? There are many ways to earn things ?

I can understand why some take it that way, but that was not my intent.
An example; i really wanted to get my degree in computer Science, I wasn't entitled to it, I had to apply myself and learn.
What about those who can't Earn it. According to you we need to adopt the practice of certain Inuit tribes: send the old and infirm people out to die. You may like that until your time comes. As far as I can see, we don't need you now, so go for a long walk into the unknown

Eh. There's more to it than that. This usually only goes for poor people.
