10 Years
If someone said to you they could show where you will be in 10 years time, would you want to see it?
Asked this in work earlier, I said yes, everyone else said no

But if you worked hard now, and knew where you were gonna be in 10 years, maybe you would step of the gas a little bit.. No motivation innit.

NO - because knowing how my life would be in 10 years time would be based on the decisions I choose to make along the way.
If I knew what would happen in 10 years time I might be tempted to make different decisions along the way.
What I'm saying is it's like the butterfly effect, every decision no matter how small can affect you ultimately. So I'd prefer to just take each day as it comes and hope I'm making the right choices.

If you are going to be 6 foot under in 10 years time, wouldn't you want to know now so you can make the time valuable? As opposed to plodding on through life and it just happening

Great question. I'd say yes, could end up backfiring though, if you find something bad has happened it'll ruin the next 10 years...

But it wont show you how you died, so would drive you crazy i think.

But surely what happens in 10 years time is entirely variable.
eg. Summer holiday to Cyprus with the gf. There is a car crash on the m25 on the way to heathrow. Stuck in traffic. You miss the 13:25 to larnaca. The 13:25 goes down killing everyone on board.
There are way too many variables. I'm giving myself a headache and I realise I am explaining my theory really poorly.

Was going to put yes with first instinct but chose no as i think life is to be lived and as already said it could make you go down different paths..
