IMO, the problem still remains even after reboot or reset. You are still hamster on a wheel. You might decide that you are drifting off course and course correct through reboot/reset sooner and later you will drift again, course correct again, and keep repeating the cycle.

You can't keep doing the same things and expect results to be different. You need to look inward and see what is causing the drift.

Last night, I watched an interesting talk by Guy Spier, a value investor. I was expecting the talk to be focus on value investing, it turned out be much more on making life choices, changes and gaining wisdom.

"> You need to look inward and see what is causing the drift."

I'm rather dismayed that the post, every single comment on this thread (as of my writing this, et least) as well as what appears to be the gist of Guy Spier's book is about "me, me and me".

I'm all for finding oneself and personal improvement. Please, please do take better care of yourself, both mentally and physically. But if that does not lead you to realizing the best path to improving your lot is to improve the lot of others, then that makes me and the whole world quite sad.
