Making Best Use of Time

Everyone has something one can contribute to society

Christmas Vacation

I think it’s fair to say that this year’s summer vacation is still the best I’ve had since I was a teenager. Vacations are always fun, but this year I feel very productive and this coming Monday we plan to do a long journey for Rianne’s birthday, then we’ll enjoy another week of this 3-week vacation.

We are not keeping idle, as being too idle leads to boredom and boredom can lead to misery. Sitting in front of the TV all day long, for instance, was never associated with contentment. Many old (elderly) people do this as they have limitations on their movement and motoric activity, plus they’re retired.

Contrary to what IBM and GAFAM want us to think (because they can barely pay salaries anymore), retirement at 40 isn’t feasible.
