One of my favourite songs of 2007 was Good Life with Kanye West and the for once not crazy annoying T-Pain. It's abut the good life. Today airportline will clear up what the difference between a plesant life, a good life and a meaningful life is. Enter: Segliman (2002), explained by Cartwright and Holmes (2006) in their article The Meaning of work: the challenge of regaining employee engagement and reducing cynicism:
'He [Segliman] regards the pleasant life, which is reflected in sensual pleasures (e.g. Material wealth) as the lowest state of happiness, closely followed by the good life, associated with enjoying something we are good at, with meaningful life providing the highest level of attainment and most lasting form of happiness. According to Seligman (2002b), a meaningful life is concerned with doing something one believes in (e.g. Has meaning and value).'

So, fuck they money and go out and do something you really believe in. Truth, delivered, each day on airportline.
