it makes me feel like sh!t.
didn't enjoy a thing, graduating late by two years, no relevant experience, no job prospect, couple more years of solving bunch of math problems, and etc.
Plus my personality combination is one of the worst
the least I can do is try to have fun and live it up.. I can't even do that
it makes me feel like i have too much time on my hands.
i know lots of perfectly happy mexicans mopping the floors for minimum wage.
you are probably both depressed and have ulrealistic expectations for yourself. you can at least get help for the former. it's nothing to be embarassed about.
That does not mean you shouldn't maintain standards which to live by.
as long as you have food, shelter and health care you are better off than most of the world. be thankful for that.
If you have less than what you're able to get, you should be ashamed of yourself.
What kind of society will be created if the motto is to only do as much as you need to suvive and nothing more and no one cared to achieve anything in life? Stonertopia? HomerSimpsonville?

your mentality is the bi-product of today's elistism and capitalistic society...
do you have any idea what some people have to go though just go get a cup of drinkable water.. when people are cursing the another human being who gives them "regular" coke instead of "diet" coke by mistake.. i hope you will come to a realization one day to see through the blinds of YOUR world...
Do you know how our society created the luxuries we have today? By thinking the way I described.
Question: Would you rather us all live in huts and do as little as possible?
Do you know why some societies thrive and others don't? It's the culture.
Ambition creates prosperity.
I understand you're probably in that "adolescent hippy" phase and it may seem fashionable to be the "activist" fighting against "the man," but in reality, the greedy businessman creates more prosperity and puts more food on people's plates than the "zen activist."
Take the Amish as an example. Their lives are miserable because of their dysfunctional culture. They have very little joy (of course joy can be relative, but it could be so much better for them) outside of working and they have an entire world filled with encyclopedias, museums, art, business, material possessions (which this entire site is dedicated to), and the diverse philosophies of life which can bring them so many different kinds of joy, but instead they ignore those things and waste their lives living the same way for generations. Almost as they do not know what joy, life, or love is outside their unexperienced opinions because they refuse to acquire to means to learn how to comprehend new philosophies. They live to survive, nothing more.
Well how is this for an idea, idiot
To be successful is business you must be greedy and ruthless. And indeed you do more good for the poor than the zen activist.
However, why do you need to be greedy in your personal life as well? Run a successful business, make it to the top, and then set an example for those below.
You do not need 20 cars. You need one car. You do not need a giant house, you just need a clean one sufficiently big to entertain fellow businessmen.
Imagine that. A seemingly greedy businessman who sets a good example. That is the future, my idiotic friend.
What do you know about owning 20 cars? You don't even own one.
If you are self made, and you can afford it, you deserve it. Need is none of my concern.
