But rather complicated ones, too. Hardly anyone can tell for sure they do what they really should. So, perhaps, we should work harder and do our job better and then our answer will be "yes" more often than "no". The article raises really interesting issues. But rather complicated ones, too.

Despite there isn't much I can change about the days, I am still happy..I still enjoy..and when I look back to the day spent..I deem it a very happy one! :) So..my current situation may not be termed successful in general opinion, I refuse to consider it as a permanent halt and just a temporary transition period - which got prolonged a bit. :) Thanks for the nice words..knowing that someone completely unknown is wishing you good, is always nice. --T As a matter of the fact, that’s exactly what I am trying to say.

But I don't think that is a realistic approach for every day living. The balance is in finding work that you can be truly passionate about and enjoy to the point where you are living your dream on a daily basis.

With a wife and kids to support, I often feel there is not a lot that I can change and it is true that I cannot just up and quit my job to pursue something, that doesn't mean I have to sit still and not be proactively trying to find that ideal situation. Here is to many more happy days for all. Tejas, try not to doubt yourself and continue to learn new things that interest you.

I would go out and have fun. I'd call up one of my best friends and hang out with her all day long.. I'd drag her away! But if i were to live every day like it were the last.. I would need to be rich I think to be able to enjoy the time ;) If today was the last day for me to live, no I wouldn’t spend it here in front of the computer. I would go out and have fun.

Unfortunately, I cannot change a lot about it [Long story..]. However, I have tried to learn many new things, and have been successful at a couple of them. To many it seems like not very exciting thing, or a wastage of time...but it does bring joy to me, as time I have plenty. Often the answer is NO, but..every evening I kind of sum up a happy day I left behind. --T My life has been on a stagnant note for a very long time.
