The beginning of this year I spent working ,which opened my eyes to how much free time I really enjoyed before. I quit because I felt overwhelmed as was keenly aware of the long-term dates hanging over my head that I could not procrastinate on, even though I barely had time to keep my homework assignments together. Anyway, it really allowed me to see the difference between wants and needs, and how when it comes down to it what needs to be done needs to be done, and nothing else really matters (at the sacrifice of sanity).
While working and after quitting my work ethic was very good, and I got things done because I did not have time to be lolly gagging. I hope to apply this honed discipline to the rest of my life, such as my charitable ambitions, namely building a library in Vietnam through room to read. I feel that building that library is more a necessity for the future of those children than making spending money and cutting myself off from success in academics is for me. Needs versus wants- what they need outweighs what I want, and for that I need to work harder and more efficiently.
