“I have long been moved by Rosa Luxemburg's assertion that 'freedom is always the freedom to think otherwise,' and thus I've been attracted to contrarians, to people whose instinct is to go against the grain of officially accredited views - especially those accredited within their own circle of progressive thinkers.

You are only setting yourself up to be taken for granted, given more work and ruining your mental and physical well-being. If you don’t set your boundaries, don’t be upset when nobody else respects them. They don’t even know they exist.”

The time that goes by today can never ever return. Much of your life will be directed towards achievement but just remember even an achievement filled life is quite wasted if you can’t spare time to enjoy it and spend time with loved ones while you still can.”

“Who the heck is the society to decide that what you do for a living has to necessarily be painful so that you have a “right” to enjoy your time later? Who said you have to hate Monday to Friday so that you get a right to enjoy Saturday and Sunday? It’s nothing but a myth that we all have bought into. There is no concept Monday to Friday for work and a Saturday/Sunday off in nature. It is simply something we all bought into and our education system perpetuates as well. And because we bought into that myth, we also trapped ourselves in careers that we genuinely hate”
