New experiences vs. usual habits
The main part of our lifetime is dedicated to professional activity,
which forms our life style, too. Some professions, like that of an
artist or a writer, require experiences. Others, like the profession
of an office worker or government personnel, need stable habits
and accuracy. Initially, we choose one of these life styles on the
basis of our previous education and rarely change it. I am a math
teacher and prefer not to change my usual habits.
The desire for a new experience is proper for artists because they
need inspiration for their creative work. Artists and writers have no
rigid work schedule and frequently travel to change their
environment and see new places and people. They compare new
impressions with previous ones, with their personal conception and
obtain materials, facts and sketches for new artistic images.
Change is a part of artists` and writers` job; they are used to it and
enjoy it.
On the other hand, stable habits and accuracy are the properties
we expect from office workers and government personnel. We
would not be pleased each time to discover that the schedule of
the office we need has changed once again or an officer has not
come at all. An official is supposed to proceed in a strict way
during the years of his career. So, stability, not change would
likely be a part of this character. Thus, these people like their lives
to stay the same.
Education plays an important role in the formation of one`s
approach to life. Artists and writers study methods of novel
creation. They try to produce change in their consciousness and
to reflect them in images or written work, for example. The
change becomes natural. But future officials study law,

administrative control procedures and should be educated to
comply with these rigid subjects. So, the love of change, most
likely, will vanish.

Both approaches to life are important and related to different kinds
of people. We choose one of the approaches with our education and
harden it during our lives. I have opted for stable habits in my life to
teach my pupils the foundations of math and I am never late for a
lesson.
