Accomplishing a task by a certain deadline is good, but trying to do things "all on my terms" seems to stem from selfishness and the anti-authority attitude that so many worldly youths have. Great article!

"They're saying 'I might work until 2 a.m. that night. But I will do it all on my terms.'" As soon as I read that, I was convicted about that being my general idea of getting things done: Give me a deadline, and I'll be sure to have it done then; just don't ask me to do it before <i>I'm</i> personally ready for it. Since it's not full obedience, it's disobedience, I guess, eh? (And I'm not just talking about to employers. I'm talking about to any authority...in my own situation, parents.) Hmm, cause for thought. Thanks for linking to that!
