I say this because I'm 65 years old, just kidding hahaha.
Look, I can't start this month by lying. I already know what I'm going to ask Santa for. I have to behave if I want my presents hahaha.
Joking aside, I heard this phrase when I was playing parqués with some older adults, and it seems very true to me. If we have the gift of life, we should strive to live it to the fullest. Besides, if I don't work, I can't buy milk for my coffee.
