One of the best lessons you can learn in life is that not everyone holds themselves to the same standards you might. Understanding that other people have radically different situations, or might approach things from a much different vantage point can help texture your mindset when dealing with them.

Who doesn’t want more money, and if making more isn’t an option right now, then spending less may be the way to go.

We are encouraged to choose subjects that appeal to employers and pursue degrees and qualifications that appeal to employers rather than the focus of education being laid on learning for its own sake. As soon as we leave education, we’re encouraged to start applying for jobs. But the nine to five working life isn’t really for everyone. Sure, some people may thrive in this environment, but many of us feel stifled in it. Commuting to and from the workplace can be bad for our health. Wearing uniforms can be uncomfortable.
