Here's a challenge for APS members. Define how to live the so-called "Good Life", in 10 words or less. Note that it's NOT a challenge to DEFINE the "Good Life" - rather, it's a "how to" challenge, where you say how it's to be achieved.

I'll start the ball rolling with an old definition, that I've liked ever since I heard it:

Quote

"Fill what's empty, empty what's full, and scratch what itches"

Your turn! laugh

Don't lie, cheat, or steal. Everything else is fine.

Relax. Whatever bad thing is going to happen probably won't.

Act right.

Honor your wife, parents, children. Pay cash. Never give up!

Love, honor, comfort, and the ability to prioritize the three.

Two possible answers:

"To scratch where it itches
is better than fine clothes and riches."

(which is 12 words, drat!), or

"Godliness with contentment is great gain."

Drink drought. Tip big. Keep your tab at the bar.

By good do you mean "happy" or "upright"?

The former

"Don't worry...Be hahhppy" (Bobby {?} Darin)

the latter

"Fear G-d and keep his commandments" (presumably king Solomon)

Almost, Bobby Macfarrin.
