Though he was send to monastery to acquire academic acknowledgement that could make his family proud.

He use to sleep during classes while teachers were explaining, discussing the scriptures from holy books.

Furthermore, I want my happiness too.

Knowledge of story telling can make a story impactful, doesn't matter it be big hit or flop. What matter is the message, expression of feelings, and timing. Just imagine that what happens if dialogues were not properly scripted then the readers mind can not image smooth vision. When movie goes flop, we get many places to criticize. Even a non professional to the cinematic sector can point out hundreds of weak points.  If we compare our own life with a big hit movie then we will have to pay keen attention to our life.

A change for good!

Phase: Ignorant "It is a waste of time, when you drift around with no aim?" When we are already grown ups that are earning average income and life goes on. We start to feel that shortage of money has always been there and we are just helpless to it. So instead of fighting for it we just try to escape from those and we start to seek for the excuses. We pretend to forget the worries and seek small happiness in our life. This is a kind of drifting around with no such aim.
