I love building and creating things, whether its working on my house or conjuring a new experiment at work. Its almost the only thing that makes me want to get up in the morning. If I don't have a goal or a task I get depressed, because I feel like my life is becoming a waste. Even very small things--say, like trying to improve a recipe--I find a lot of enjoyment in. I don't view myself as being on a grand path, but I'm very goal oriented. One reason I love being a scientist is that I get to think of things to do that nobody has even done before, and thus become a source of knowledge instead of just a consumer. Also I get to do fun shit like tear microscopes to pieces and rebuild them. I think creating is the greatest virtue of life.
