Just a couple of mins ago I was having a shower and caught on singing a song by linkin Park - i haven't been listening to that band for like ages. However, the lyrics really caught my attention - I've tried so hard and got so far, in the end it doesn't even matter. That wouldn't be anything fancy, but after having a 60 hour workweek behind me, with not enough sleep and just preparing to set off to uni, I'm really asking myself - is it really worth? I know that I can't achieve anything without hard-work and that I don't want to live the life of average Joe, but well, for sure I know that I don't want to go crazy and just have a schedule like - work, 1-2 hours of free time (free I guess, but there's homework, things around the house, etc), sleep, repeat. How do you balance this?

-- Friedrich Nietzsche
fuck I should just sell some of my Pokemon cards, if no one stakes that is what I will have to do - lostaccount
Dont think the Nietzsche thingy applies. I want a good life, being able to buy whatever i feel like, going out without worries that i have money for only a beer. And for that one has to work, harder or more or both. Also this period of hard work won't last more than 3 months/year, but still, its pretty annoying.

Slavery and freedom has it's pros and cons. I often fluctuate between the two. Too much freedom leads me to enslaving myself to live anyway when i start running out of monies.
the biggest slaves are the masters of civilization. Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who was once the richest Russian said that he was more free in prison than as an oligarch.

Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life.
