School is not the most important thing.
It has taken me 20 years of my life to finally figure this out. There are more important things than school and homework.
I'm not saying that school is unimportant. Not at all. I think that getting an education is one of the best things you can do with your life. But should it be your #1 priority? I don't think so.
Don't get me wrong. It should be your last priority either. But if all you do is just school and homework, what are you getting from life? Maybe you're a bomb speed reader. Perhaps you write fantastic research papers. But how often are those skills going to be useful in real life?
My philosophy in life has become this: Do your homework, but when some other better offer comes up, take it. Go do something crazy with your friends. That homework will always be there. The opportunities to play won't.
So get an education. Work hard in school. But don't let it get in the way of having fun.
