• It is amazing how good and relaxed my mood and feeling is after I realized that money, job grade etc do not really mean that much for me and that I have, in fact, been trying to force (for the last years) myself in a role, which is against my personality and values. Everything looks so beautiful, the insane traffic in HZ does not stress at all, it just makes me laugh. Also, no incident at work can anymore insult me, I feel so independent. I now remember that whatever happens, I have some professional skills and also my natural intelligence, energy and curiosity, which will be worth a decent living (and interesting things to do) in any case. There are so many interesting things to do, so many difficult problems to solve, so many great persons to get to know, so may good dinners to eat, that taking stress on something which happens at work now or ever, is just waste of the short life I have. Maybe these thoughts will help someone else too. Life is nice.
• Still more about motivation: I think that it is also upto each person (including me) to raise alarm and seek help when motivation goes down. The problem is, of course, that it is sometime not so easy to detect this.
