I can tell I’m in the presence of intellectuals… (for the most part) @Jared @jtnix @Bill @Schalk Neethling @Theresa Neethling, I completely agree.

I love this post James…

You all are DEFINITELY the type of people I want to associate with, and be associated with.

Totally get it. You’re an excellent writer. Ever consider a career in that?

Very nicely written. Reminds me of the writing in the excellent game ‘Braid’, well done!

@Jaco, seriously, if what you got from my post is that time management is the solution to all of this, then I beg you to take heed once more, because that is far from the case, I think.

Jaco, you are completely missing the point dude. Good luck with your hope of becoming a manager, it seems you are just the right person. There is more to live, never forget that or your life will be wasted.

School is there to teach you how to learn. Quality of schools differ of course, but that is up to your parents to make an informed decision. We all will have that ‘I-need-to-escape’ days, but do something you love and it will not be that hard. It’s all to do with being driven to better yourself. If you work as waiter and hate it, you need to smile and work with drive so to become head waiter, or manager. If you hate it and you do not do something about it, you’ll be stuck being a waiter all your life. A hobby is important, and some hobbies can turn into businesses. Time management is the key here and that is where school and tertiary institution comes into play again. My dad always said :”You are young and can take the stress of making money, one day you’ll realize it’s about your family and not the money. Good thing you only realize this later in life after getting some money.”

OH WOW…”existence had been sold to me.” you couldn’t of said this better. This is so true yet very sad…There is more to life than just working yourself into a zombie like transe and enriching “The Man”.

The French word for work is “travail”(sp). In English it has a more drudge, woe and pain connotation. When in France we used to laugh at their hour(+) long lunch breaks and there seems to be a holiday at least once per week. Perhaps that is “Joi de vivre”.

I have been an independent businessman my whole life. I remember one time, worn out and exhausted, having been on the road for two weeks, yes part of my “travail”. I looked out a window from some interstate eatery and a buffed out little family with all new clothes; mom, pop and two kids hopped out of a brand new SUV.I had a flash of yearning for a nice sweet decent paying drudge of a job, for a second or two… Nah
