Holy molly I am so glad someone said what I exactly believe in. I say and believe that for any relationship to work out, romantic or not, you need to be on the same page as in have similar views of life. How you go about achieving them barely matters.

Two people that want to achieve and succeed in life can be friends even if their ideas of success are different while they won't be compatible with someone who believes in living in the moment and not caring about the future.
