I feel a loss of direction in life. I finally made it into graduate school full time - with support - but now what? Work on my grid ideas by myself with no real guidance or direction? Abandon them for something else?? If it weren't for the constant flow of class work and assignments I would feel completely untethered, completely adrift. I was chatting with a good friend yesterday, and I made a statement like "I'm strong enough to stand on my own." The point I wanted to make was that I didn't need help to achieve goals... I can set and achieve goals easily enough, but how do you deal with apathy? Goals don't mean much to me. They use to when I was younger. Now, time passes, goals get met or they don't, and there doesn't seem to be a drastic difference to me; time passes. The worst part is the wondering. Do I really
not care, or is it just the winter blues? Am I going to give up on something that I really enjoy, only to find out the next day or week or month that it was a misjudgment made under the haze of depression.

CleverCactus Diego has some interesting things to say about businesses.
A company shouldn't, can't, be an end in itself (As I've said before). A successful company (IMO) is not one that only makes money (although that's important of course) but also contributes to the life of its employees, its community and society, and does its part, to put it simply, in making things better.
I find this point of view interesting... employee friendly companies - do those exist?? Can they exist?
