It quickly reminds me of a discussion I was involved in explaining that more money wasn’t equal more satisfaction when some teen complained about how little she made at her job. Here is [...] Related posts:

But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. The life would begin began.

I think I understated; some kids don’t even know there exists such a thing as childhood: those days when stupidity was the order of the day and everyone roamed so freely, learning as freely, even those times when we’d be too free [...] Related posts:

The authors explained that you should never leave any ‘broken window’ in your [written] computer programs because, though that ‘window’ might seem insignificant now but it only lays a [...] Related posts:

The poem used the George Orwell style of awakening (in Animal Farm) to point the corruption that the country’s leaders are wreaking to the nation. And, [...] Related posts:

Regularly, I keep returning to the thought of the ‘bondage’ of being grown-up. The pressure of thinking and acting like an adult, the many attachment with being ‘civilized’ and ‘mature’.
