"Standard of Living" or "Quality of Life" ??

1/21/2010

In a world DRUNK on “standard of living” extremes and efforts towards that end, could we all take a moment and consider if there is a difference between “standard of living” and “Quality of Life”? Can YOU articulate in two sentences what the difference is between the two? Let’s not be lazy here—try to articulate the difference in two sentences. Can you?

NOW…Can one have BOTH “standard of living” AND “Quality of Life”? To some extent, yes. For awhile, maybe.

But, if you HAD to CHOOSE between the two, which WILL happen for most in the next 20 years, which of the two—“standard of living” or “Quality of Life”—to which have you invested your “heart, soul, mind, and strength”?
