"We’re told to do well in school so that we can get into a solid university in order study something that will allow us to be hired in a lucrative position, and when we get bored, it’s not a problem, because we can just go back to school to get a masters..."

Whenever I find myself considering going back to school, it's always been from a place of fear rather than a place of wonder.

Excellent work Shiv

This reminds me of the many views and quotes the Stoic's have on the subject of death. I've been pondering a lot of these views/quotes lately that teach how we should put up mental boundaries around the things that keep us from living life to the fullest. Worrying about money, that job promotion, successes that we cannot control, and even death keeps us from wondering and exploring and even enjoying life.

This also makes me think of how many things we say "yes" to in life that should really be big fat "NO's"!!

Thanks, Shiv, for this!!
