Theories of maturity.
"There is no time in life at which one can say, "Now I'm completely mature; I have experienced all possible things and I know that I will respond with an intelligent judgement." Maturity is a growing process that is lifelong; each age brings new situations and new processes with which one must cope.
By definition, maturity is revealed whenever an individual uses all his resources he has to move in a direction of his full potential. In other words, the individual who is best adjusted has reached the highest level of maturity with capacity."

The RIGHT way.
I'm sharing this because probably 3 1/2 people read my blog, perhaps half-hazardly. And I doubt it would stimulate anyone's desire to exercise simply based on those numbers.
Nonetheless!
This is the true formula behind results based on a focused and clear goal.
Brilliant.

My own God.
"For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But forthose of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the tachings of the church, state and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death himself will tremble to take us."

Goal theories.
One of the most predominant reasons why parents constantly badger their kids to stay in school and follow a solid plan is because they never had a dream or craft of their own to pursue. Or perhaps they did, but never possessed the will, perseverance or determination to follow throw, without fear of failure. That's itself is another problem; fear of failure. If you constantly have the thought of doubt overwhelming your desire to pursue something...then you've got limited yourself to three options: find another path, figure out a way to bypass the fear and focus on the goal, or just stick it out with the doubt still saturating your mind. The middle option is usually the best although it requires a higher mental capacity and tolerance for frustration and set-backs. They might discourage you temporarily, but ultimately provide you with more of a push after the negativity ceases. Essentially, it comes down to the person and how badly one desires a certain outcome.
Although some of that may have been off on a tangent, it still supports the initial argument.
In regard to deciding a path for yourself, whether it be in free lace arts or a solid 8 years of an institutionalized education, it is YOUR decision, not another's. Sometimes, parents think they know what's better for their children because they're supposedly older, wiser and more "experienced", although that's a relative term. Most of the time, this isn't true.
Yes, adolescents haven't developed their decision-making skills as well as a fully grown adult...although "adult" is also another relative term. Physiological, psychological and physical elements come into play to truly define that term. Nonetheless, the decision should be left up to the child unless their chosen path is extremely harmful physically or mentally, in which case the parents' input should be incorporated. In fact, parents' input should be added most of the time, but that's where it ceases. If their "advice" becomes more of an ultimatum or lacking options, then it loses the definition of input. Then, the parent falls into an totalitarian category which is the worst of the three types.(Totalitarian, authoritarian & permissive).
One of most common ways to get through a long term is meeting smaller goals along the way.

Something.
Read something interesting recently.
Example:
In high school, a young girl can put in hours of work to perfect the craft of cheer leading. This activity of seemingly low importance, is perhaps number one on this girl's daily list of things to do, possibly above the importance of her studies.
Years later, coming from the perspective of a grown woman, witnessing current adolescsents cheer leading in passing can provoke feelings of disgust and annoyance in regard to how useless the activity would be in adulthood. What she failed to realize is the hidden important in such activities as an adolescent; how they can potentially teach us the significance of dedication, of perseverance and most importantly, of meeting small goals to ultimately meet a bigger goal. Although cheer leading was just a phase for her, it probably led her to be a more well-rounded woman with all the useful morals instilled within her all because she was willing to dedicate hours daily to a seemingly menial activity as a teen.
It may seem as if this theory is far-fetched...but do not forget, the mind if powerful thing, it can make connections that we will never be aware of but still utilize.
I also briefly touched upon an aspect of the goal-meeting theory of humans.
We as people, cannot live without knowing something is worth it. Nonetheless, I'm fully aware that people perform certain activities out of pure enjoyment of the activity, not the goal. Let's step outside the and see this as a completely uninvolved and un-opinionated person...isn't the enjoyment DURING an activity the same as AFTER? Well, the answer is yes and no. Yes, because we were made to be selfish beings, we as intellectual and thinking being were created to benefit from our activities whether it be before or after. Also, to cover another base in this argument, even if we're performing an activity purely to benefit another, we'll still generate some sort of subconscious pleasure derived from knowing we did something for someone else. We may or may not be aware of this, and if we are, we may not always admit it just to seem pure at heart...although "pure at heart" is a relative term; it was created by Marxist and Communist-orientated people to sway the public into thinking that everything should be done selflessly. This, in essence, creates a negative connotation for individuality and the innate human-nature of obtaining something purely for ones' benefit.
As for the no, the only clear difference I see is WHEN the self-benefit actually Curr's.
