It has arrived; The first weekend of the 2019 Formula One World Championship. I, and millions of other's, have been waiting for over four months since the end of the 2018 season for this and now it's here. If you don't understand the concept it's quite simple; A group of F1 teams compete for a constructors championship and the twenty drivers compete for the drivers championship. There's a lot of money involved, insane amounts actually, with a top team spending around $450m-$500m to race a season and the lesser teams up towards $100m. Hmm, there's some disparity there isn't there? That monetary disparity reflects on the track and the front-runners might have a 1-2 second/lap advantage over the back-markers...It doesn't seem a lot, but in a sport where thousandths of a second sometimes separate the combatants...Well, it's a lot! So, I'll be watching the race weekend roll out and throughout the course of the weekend the natural order of things will be determined. Those that prepared well, practiced, exerted effort, took calculated risks, explored new concepts and strived for excellence in the construction of their car and, for the drivers, physical ability, will rise and those that didn't, or couldn't...Well, the race weekend will separate the wheat from the chaff. **Formula One mirror's life somewhat I think. There are the *have's* and *have not's* in life just like in F1.** There are those who apply effort, ownership, responsibility...And those that do not...Not to the same degree anyway. There's a degree of luck in life, just like on the race track, and there's massive reward available for those who succeed overall, and for those who succeed on a day-to-day, week-by-week basis. But does it come for nothing? No not generally. <div class="pull-left">https://i.imgur.com/ppVOiXe.jpg</div> My life ethos is *"design and create your ideal life, don't live it by default"* a concept that encompasses many actions, activities and, of course, the correct attitude to deploy efficiently and with any real hope of actually delivering it. Reward waits at the end, and indeed throughout the journey, however a rewarding result isn't delivered through simply thinking about the ethos, by dreaming about it. No, results take effort and action, no different to finishing on the top step of the podium at an F1 race weekend. But how many are willing to take those steps, the *hard yards* towards achieving their end goal? Each of us has a different *ideal* when it comes to our own lives...For one it may mean working through every weekend and late all week at their job and for another person the *ideal* may be a balance between work-life and personal-life...It's a personal choice of course, no matter what the desired result is, a choice is made by each of us and we either actively pursue the desired result or choose to accept whatever result *happens* to arrive in life. The world is full of winners and *the rest*...What makes a person a *winner* in someone else's eyes may not be the measure of how that *winner* keeps score though. I'll use myself as the example. Looking at my life from the outside could leave one with an impression of a great life, comfortable and fulfilling...But the *things a person sees* leaving them with that impression are not the way I measure the value in my life. It's not things that define my life and make me feel like a winner, it's the experiences. That sort of cuts to the heart of the matter, the true essence of my life-ethos **design and create your ideal life...** **_YOUR ideal_**. Separating wheat from chaff when it comes to a person's life isn't as simple as who has what, who lives where or who has the most powerful job. It's a personal thing and deciding between whether a person is *wheat or chaff*, a person's **life** is wheat or chaff, really needs to be a determination of the individual rather than of society. You may look on my life and consider it (and me) chaff, someone who hasn't excelled, achieved or indeed *won* although I may look upon it and feel like a winner within my own life. Whose opinion would matter to me? That's rhetorical as there can only be one answer. Mine. Life is a journey to a destination. In fact each and every person's destination is the same...Death. Yeah, I know it might seem morbid but it's true. You will be dead at some stage and everything you have will not be yours anymore, nor will it matter to you. Same with me. That's why my life-ethos focusses on *my ideal life* and why I focus on sorting wheat from chaff when it comes to the things within it. It's why I focus on positive actions and concepts like ownership, effort, responsibility and repel negative ones like blame, selfishness, hubris and ego. It allows me to drive towards my goal, my ethos, more confidently and with the comfort of knowing that the things I do daily enhance my life now, the one I am in and living at this moment. OK, speaking of enhancing my life...It's time to get back to my TV and the F1 racing beaming live out of Melbourne Australia. *Image taken by me last week. Samsung S9.* **_Design and create your ideal life, don't live it by default_** - @galenkp P.s. If anyone wants to hit me up on Discord: @galenkp#9209

Thanks mate...Got the AC pumping, a coffee and (maybe) a little bit of cake...Just sitting here enjoying the event...On my TV. My wife mentioned that we should head over there for the 2020 event in March as a 50th birthday event for me. Sounds legit. 😊 Posted using [Partiko Android](https://partiko.app/referral/galenkp)

As a guide, Ferrari receive just under $160M (Euro) a year in prize money. Prize money is handed out depending on where the team finishes in the constructors championship although Ferrari receive an additional bonus as they have been around for so long. The only team to have competed in every championship season. (1950). The team who finishes last get just under $40M (Euro) but the price amounts are worked out as a percentage off overall revenue and not the dollar-figure so it fluctuates. (In 2018 it was a $921M figure.) Just a few bucks huh? As for the drivers...Here's their 2019 salaries...The top 8 of the 20 drivers. Obviously they probably make 3 or 3 times their salary from businesses and endorsements over an above race-team salary like most top sportspeople. https://i.imgur.com/c1LAPdo.png

> however a rewarding result isn't delivered through simply thinking about the ethos, by dreaming about it. No, results take effort and action This reminded me of [this Zen Pencils comic](https://zenpencils.com/comic/161-shonda-rhimes-a-screenwriters-advice/) (click through, I did embed it in here to begin with, realised how long it was and took it out XD), the screenwriter said pretty much the same thing and Zen Pencils guy illustrated it nicely I thought :) Enjoy your cars driving around in circles forevever XD <center>https://technonaturalist.net/sites/default/files/styles/sensible_display/public/art/2017/11/goatsig-t.png?itok=Ml3FDq7c</center>
