It&#8217;s a source of infinite number of entertainments (e.g. problems to solve), of new things, which I learn from &#8211; and they even pay me&#8230; In fact it makes me free (or doesn&#8217;t obstruct my freedom :) ).<br \/>\n(someone might say that it&#8217;s not so &#8211; it&#8217;s a bit hard to find time for some side things, like drinking, writing lectures, etc., that I&#8217;m tired most of the time (which is always like this :) ), but in the end I manage to do what I&#8217;ve decided is good, and can&#8217;t remember something being able to stop me :) ).<\/p>\n<p>First I had decided to write this from the point-of-view of the computer people, but then I remembered &#8211; how many of them\/us have a job that makes them\/us free?

Some of them complain just for the sport &#8211; the fatigue makes does that to people &#8211; but the rest really feel that way.
