One Project of Life

I don't understand. I just spent the last 3 years of my life studying economics and all I acquired was lots of ideas about economic theories and learnt some very simple models to explain economic growth accompanied by some high school mathematical skills. When I came to start my master, I was really excited of what was waiting for me. The last year I studied (in North America) was less mathematical and way more intuitive then the two first I had back in Europe. I had interesting classes about issues on economic development in poor countries or the economics of the environment. Anyway. To summarize, I had great hopes about starting my master. However, all I got here is just some more basic mathematical skills in order to explain the same models that they somehow came up with.  I'm not asking for complexity but I'm wondering about the point of studying economics any further (except getting a higher paid job which is not my goal). I could understand that you should spend t...

Have you ever felt something deep down in yourself asking for more ? The feeling that there is much more to reach in life. It has a been a while since I last fooled around with my consciousness. Keeping my eyes wide open. Trying to capture everybody's needs. Every sound. Listening carefully to every word they pronouced.

In my opinion this needs to be a conscient decision, a result of long years of studying yourself. But please I really please everyone of us to take so time and reflect on this. Be ambitious. Do something you...
