heaven is a nap during a thunderstorm with a scared puppy curled up at the foot of the bed
let me just say this: i believe work is good for the soul. whatever the goal is at the end of the work- be it money, good grades, a degree or whatever-- is not always the major accomplishment. the accomplishment is the work itself; the goal is just a sort of proverbial certificate of completion.
i believe in work and the process that is work and the progress of the individual working. as old fashioned as that sounds. i love breaks and vacations and sleep and romantic ideas of success as much as anyone else, but i dont think its possible to truly appreciate those things unless youve worked really hard to get to that point.
a romantic idea of becoming something artistic is great--i would love to become a writer and a fashion designer and a scriptwriter, but its not realistic. maybe in my free time i'll work on that but the only people who make it in those fields are the ones who truly WORK their asses off to get there. day and night they perfect their craft. its ten thousand times harder to succeed in an artsy field than something like veterinary medicine, and vetmeds pretty damn hard. i just dont think things just happen to anyone. i think you should decide what you really want and work your ass off until you get there. and maybe thats just me; probably is because i dont see that drive in too many people. when you finally achieve what youve always wanted, then you slack off and take vacations and sit around and sip coffee and discuss pointless things all day.
hell, i dont know, maybe it will happen for everyone and ill look like the fool. i hope it does happen that way. i wish everyone a ton of success without any work at all. but i know it wont happen that way for me, and i honestly dont have the time to waste thinking it will. i also dont have the time to waste defending this point, as i am at work now.
