Цель жизни - попытка как-то очеловечить, одушевить и умилостивить мертвый и всемогущий полупроводниковый мир, проносящиеся по которому электронные импульсы определяют человеческую судьбу. Ведь даже богатство, к которому всю жизнь стремится человек, в наши дни означает не подвалы, где лежат груды золота, а совершенно бессмысленную для непосвященных цепочку нулей и единиц, хранящуюся в памяти банковского компьютера, и все, чего добивается самый удачливый предприниматель за полные трудов и забот годы перед тем, как инфаркт или пуля вынуждают его перейти к иным формам бизнеса, так это изменения последовательности зарядов на каком-нибудь тридцатидвухэмиттерном транзисторе из чипа, который так мал, что и раглядеть-то его можно только в микроскоп.(Виктор Пелевин)

“Fly me to the Moon…let me dance among the Stars…” I hope we never lose our sense of wonder. A passion for exploration and discovery is a noble legacy to leave to our children. I hope we set our sails and venture out one day. That will be one glorious day…

Result of conversation with my friend Povlo.
He told me about his dream. It is traveling. He wants to leave his job and spend all his time for traveling. He only needs to make up your mind to leave job.
It was period in my life when I did it. I quit and made what I want until I had money. It was funny. But now I don't have such idea I even think it's bad. I truly believe that exists the way to work with pleasure and with rest and with traveling .

Metaphor
I started to read "Refactor.Your.Thinking.Pragmatic.Thinking.and.Learning". Actually I've interested in human mind recently, so this book like treasure for me. And I Write some quotes from this excellent book
"Positive emotions are essential to learning and creative thinking.
Being “happy” broadens your thought processes, and brings more of the brain’s hardware online ."
“Metaphor, a common ground for both verbalizations and images, is a way to voyage back and forth between the subconscious and conscious, between right and left hemispheres.”
About metaphor I already read in "Code Complete" by Steve McConnell. And If two create guys mentioned this, I think It very impotent.
"An algorithm gives you the instructions directly. A heuristic tells you how to discover the instructions for yourself, or at least where to look for them.”
How do you use software metaphors? Use them to give you insight into your
programming problems and processes. Use them to help you think about
your programming activities and to help you imagine better ways of doing
things. "
I think metaphor is very suitable and I'm gonna use it. After some period of using metaphor I'll describe my experience.
