Because you want to, not because you have to

With +20C and blooming flowers and trees there is so much energy that I could spend all day outside and no energy at all that could be dedicated for sitting in room and studying. So today it was extreemely difficult to motivate to go to school (only good reason was that I had to give presentation today). All these questions starting with "why" were running through my head.
Not the right time to read a blog post discussing if it is worth studying or over-working. But I read it, so even more "why"s.

I think it is absolutely true. Life happens every day. Also now. BUT sometimes long term commitments increase integral of happiness function. Even though today I really hated that I have to go and study, in general I love it. And though I don't know if my degree will be needed, I do it because I like it, not because it will bring me some benefits in future. It is sad that so many people miss also this long-term excitement about things they do.
