Do you really want to spend your most productive, healthy and free/uncommitted years working too much just to have more time when your body is starting to weaken and many of your dreams start to become impossible?
Do you want to spend less time with your children for the chance to have more time for your grandchildren?
For me it's an ethical argument to be vegetarian, i still love the taste and smell of meat (but contrary to the cliché repeated in this thread have never lapsed) - why give up on it completely if i can get something similar that allows me to still enjoy a bbq or spaghetti Bolognese. Most veggie substitutes taste like crap though - but that's a matter of trial and error (my advice is to avoid any veggiemeat that's egg based, they all taste disgusting and probably come out of the horribly cruel egg mass production.)
I'd be vegan but with small kids, a non-veg partner and an area that's not very veggie friendly that will have to wait a bit longer.
Of course people will interpret it as they wish but this is interesting research, not "vaccines-cause-x" type of research. For those looking for excuses I'm sure they can find plenty of others already.
Some people remember transition phrases but that never seemed helpful for me.
In the end spend time remembering a few core ideas and practice the speech freely a few times.
I actually don't write speeches anymore - i just think of a rough structure and practice until i get through it in a way i like. Then refine beginning and ending, make sure the core ideas are clear to me - and it's in my head for a while. Means I'll never give the same speech twice, but it's also more fun for me as i learn new things/ideas while speaking :)
If you want teachers & students to use tech it needs to be truly frictionless.
Don't look for perfection by comparing the best of each. Sucks that none of them are perfect perfect for you but people have different needs/wants/tastes.
