Ideas for thesis

1. Feeling guilty about being happy . My first post provides a very long explanation of this. It is a prevalent theme in my life these days.
2. Trying to juggle too many things at once and dropping most of the balls. I always try to do this. I used to be much better at this when I was younger. In college I was in school full time, I had 2 jobs and a very active social life. I had fun but I was miserable at the same time. Now I am happy but its so much harder for me to handle so many things. I think its because now I care about doing them well, where as when I was younger I just wanted to get them out of the way.
3. The Things I Have Learned. Revelations I have had about design, about creating work you are proud of, about being as productive as possible, and about life in general.
4. Facade The idea of appearance versus reality, be it in relationships, in careers, in the media . . . the possibilities are endless. A few examples of what I mean:
• How many people truly marry for love, and how many marry for other reasons?
• Just how large is the gap between what the media relates to us and the actual truth?
5. " The wisest man in the world admits he knows nothing." As a freshman in college I swore up and down that I would never ever use anything I learned in Philosophy class. The beautiful irony is that the aforementioned Socrates quote is one of the most salient, most useful things lessons I learned in college. When I shut my mind off to ideas and experiences, my life is stagnant and depressing. I produce work that is boring and uninspired. I miss out on so much. I am not happy. When I open my mind to new thinking, to unlimited possibilities, when I admit that I don't know but I am willing to try, magical things can happen.
