Study hard, get a good job, and get ahead in life. Phrases we've heard all our lives. They've been dinned into our heads from childhood. What does study "hard" mean? And what is a "good" job? "Get ahead" of whom, what?

Anyways, we study, get that job and start the 'getting ahead' process like there's no tomorrow. Some of us do it with a plan and some of us without. Life becomes a process - a series of deadlines, TV shows and missed occasions. We run all the time and in the hope of getting somewhere. Most of us have a watch but no compass. And the funny thing is that we may even pass on without knowing that we missed out on living.

Somebody blow the whistle! Get us out of the court. We need Time Out.
