Is it possible to decide in advance that life be in a certain way and fashion it accordingly? The prevalent view on personality /self development is matching thus. The assumption of a shapeable life does indeed have the assumption of a certain context and opportunity as well at its base. Nevertheless one's inclinations are also shaped by the context one is in and thus a certain amount of determinism is built into it.
However, a completely planned life leaves no surprises and is more mechanical. In this regard the organisational life is also a force that shapes us in the mechanical way. I am often surprised at the twin paradox of the life of the less structured and the life of the highly structured. In a way I have experienced both and perhaps I may not be able to live the life of the totally unstructured.
I am rather comfortable with a fair day's hard work and relaxation at the end of it, rather than a fair 10 month's work and one month of complete vacationing. In fact not having anything to do is abominable to me. Having to much to do is equally so.
