What I wanted to express is what a man who has a good life would say -- because he felt that he has been so contented with his life.
Is his tag "I enjoy my life" ?
For a man poor-edicated, he'd say "My life is cool." Because it sounds in fashion.
If the man well-educated, he'd say "I do see life", or "I enjoy my life"?

You'd better recommend me a tag that native English speakers used to "tout"/praise their lives.
Hmm, Mr. shepaints, please speak it out with English.
"I've had a good life"
"Life is sweet"
"Life is good"
"Life has been good to me"
"I've been very fortunate in life"
One or other of those would be okay, OristarA
Oristar, perhaps you could extract a line or two from Mr. Sinatra..
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
"No, oh no not me,
I did it my way".
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!
I stand corrected Phoenix.....je ne pense pas. I must be in need of a quick side trip to Quebec
to get my negatives straightened out.
Hey, for an earnest and hardworking aspiring learner of English, are Paul Anka lyrics and Parisian songs the way to go?
Diverse, if nothing else.
"i'm just as happy as a hog in deep mud."
"Ain't no flies on this boy."
"It's a great life, if you don't falter"
I'll be back with more as i think of them.
Replies are simple but excellent!
Thanks all.
