I want to feel like what I do matters, otherwise I become frustrated and feel bad. My basic drive for curiosity is very strong, and I need to learn new things and do something that has some sort of meaning.
Being paid to do nothing is soo frustrating, I feel like I am wasting what little time I have here on earth.
Raise healthy, emphatic and intelligent kids.
If I manage that, everything else can go to hell, and I would still be happy and content in life.
