maxim: how you price your time defines how others spend it

three examples of the price of your time:

the worker: sells time for a positive value and time is generally conserved. they usually don't ask you to stay back and do nothing. (of course there are millions of exceptions that prove the rule)

the volunteer: sells time for nothing and it is generally wasted. see philip greenspun (can't find link)

the student: pay them to use your time. this means you value your time negatively. result? homework...ie they destroy even your outside time, and you do it because you are paying for it.
