Why Are You Failing to Make a Success of Yourself?

            In fact, I don’t really know who is to blame for myself and most people I know failing to make successes of themselves. The government? Dr Robotnik himself? Is it you? Me? Some people are happy with their reception positions, being a sales assistant in Game, working in retail, and that’s perfectly fine; if you can honestly say you’re happy with that, then you’ve won, but if you do feel as though you’ve failed, then you probably have. It can be argued that those who feel they have failed can do something about it, in your free time, at the weekends, write letters to companies it’s better fitting your aspirations to work for, write C.Vs, research new career paths, qualifications waiting for you that didn’t exist five years ago. Those who argue that are correct, this can and should be done. However, it is easier said than done, because if you are anything like me, after so many years of a meaningless, unresponsive future-less career, at the weekends, I mostly fail to leave my pyjamas, fail to resign my position in front of mind liquefying television, fail to even clean my teeth, fail to clean out the hamsters, fail to generally behave like a fully functioning human being. The prospect of using my weekend to attempt to resuscitate my floundering, fledging non-career sends me only further downwards in a spiral of deep self-pitying depression.
