A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
决定
Decided

People decided that I was the frat guy, even though I've never been inside a fraternity, or the guy who beat them up at school, even though that wasn't me at all.

角色转换是一件困难的事情。两年来，我们有了这个小家庭。当这些改变被决定时，我们并没有在一起。这一切都发生在我们休息的时候。
There's nothing new about anti-work philosophy. History is dotted with individuals and groups who decided that laziness was next to godliness and work was a waste of time.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

When I decided to be a musician I reckoned that that was going to be the way of less profit, less money. I was sort of giving up the idea of making a lot of money. It was what I loved to do. I would have done it anyway. If I'd had to work at Taco Bell I'd have still been out at night trying to play music.
