Don't think that you are staying at home you are missing out all the fun roaming in a forest.
Looking at PLSQL or C codes is like looking at a forest.
Everything in this universe is fractal, self similiar, like a crystal growing into more and more complex shape until it and grows into every terriotry making forest, human which is a small universe, and human being a part of the force which created the complex world created quantum mechanics, number theory maths and poetry created codes, and codes is a part of the force, a part of the forest, a part of crystals.
Being with PLSQL or C is like being in a forest.

Why Oracle is better than the rest
Oracle can earns lots of money even with medium B+ skills. Oracle can be tweaked at home with only a cheap PC. You can be a expert by 13 years old. By Oracle is fun. Compared to;
Thereotical physics which require A+ skills to earn good living else you become a high school teacher, and there is no guarantee if you can researched anything new. There is actually a lot of dirty competition in physics.
Electronic and eletrical engineer or other engineering. Equipment is expensive cannot tweak at home. Engineering has much less tweaking than programming.
Philosophy is very hard to earn a living, you will likely become a high school teacher. Probably slightly less fun than Oracle.
Poetry you will be poor.
Poker you need to be broke for a few years, it requires above average skills.
Weiqi is hardest to make a living, you have to work more hard than Oracle or Poker.
Law you have to like language a lot, and have no problem with being a bad guy.
Game programming is very unstable companies go bankrupt and too many people like to do it making competition high.
Account mm mmmm very boring but if you like to escape tax for big bucks it probably is ok. But you cannot tweak at home.

To love something
Actually you can love any occupation once you know enough of it. For instance something like Oracle you have to be with it, to know it in and out, to have mastery of it, then you will love it. If you are not familiar with something you will feel bored with it and dont love it.
Imagine that you have one billion dollars and have done everything you want to do
Like travel around the world, eat the best sushi, live in the best houses, sleep with the most beautiful woman, win the world poker tournament, read all the books. This all dont have to take too long, maybe 3 years. Then what would you do? With all the time left.
Considering philosophy, thereotical physics, mathematics, weiqi, karate, tai chi, poker, poetry, I thought about it, I would do Oracle, I can live in the mountains and all but my mind have to have something to chew on. And programming with all its beauty, logicallness and orderliness, like a zen garden, is the place i want to be in. Weiqi is simply too taxing and gets repetitive, poker is too damn boring, philosphy maybe, karate and tai chi is too boring once mastered and how can you do karate all day?
Thus think about this question. You need to have some occupation you want to be with, you are in love with, you can tweak in your house all of the time. I suggest Oracle database. Focus on the occupation you in love with often, dont focus much on the office politics, then your life will be very fine quality as it suppose to be. Even office politics focus on your war techniques not the result like what you do at poker focus on your play not the money. Focus on what you love not the result but paradoxically move towards the result , use the dip.

Game programming will get your started
At young age you are in now, start with game programming first, use c++ or gamemaker to make some game. 3d you can use Blender to make some models. Go up to the internet and read game programming tutorials to get you started. At about 13 you can become a expert game programming. But game programming income is unstable and Oracle i think is better. I have done game programming and it is not a living thing, Oracle is because it handles large amount of data, and the complexity makes it alive.
Forget all about other spiritual path
Those buddhism, christianitylah, no ego, enlightenmentlah, samadhi, avaitar, new science, new age, whatever, dont fall into their trap it will lead you no where. Follow only karate.

Today I found the dip book and sams teach yourself plsql in 21 days
I was looking for Oracle PLSQL program units exam guide in Jurong East Regional library in Singapore and it was on loan, and i found the above two great books.
The Sams teach yourself PLSQL in 21 days by Johnathan Gennick is probably the best PLSQL book i have ever read though it is not very famous and uses oracle 8i but i cant put the book down, it step by step explanation has cleared a lot of doubts in my mind even the Rampant book Oracle PLSQL jumpstart didnt really clear. I cant put the book down.But the book is written by two authors, John is probably very good the other one probably not that good, read the reviews of Amazon.
The other book is The Dip by Seth Godin, somehow i havent spotted that it was available in singapore library. It is probably the only book i would want you Sean and Ryan to read. I might scan it to freedrive.com when i have time, it basically says you have to be the best, nobody wants average guys, people go for the best guys, but in order to be the best you have to go through a very diffcult period call the dip.
In work life there are two aspects, the political fighting aspect and the real job that you do, like Oracle. There are a lot of ugly parts in the political fighting and focusing too much on it will make your job which is suppose to be fun to be tedios. You have to fight but most of the time spent your attention on the good part of the job, liike Oracle, focus on the beauty and exploration part of Oracle. Be aware that you have to be the best, but work on the result but put your soul on the process. This is ying and yang aspect of work. Result Orientation read The Dip book by Seth Godin, is the yang aspect. The ying is process orientation by Thomas Steiner.
I just thought of the best balance of good guy bad guy character i want you sean and ryan to have. One is Riddick from the Chronical of Riddick movie. The other one is the SIngapore Goju Ryu karate national team brothers in Goju Ryu SIngapore. One brother wear specs and is a probably a engineer, have brain, but he has also gangster behavior, with karate as back up, half good half bad is the best combination.
Karate can protect you for the rest of your life.

You will never fail in life unless you quit
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

Just conjore up feeling of happiness - excitement
The closest feeling of happiness is excitement in my opion - like you about to visit a shopping mall when you were six.
This feeling is long forgotten by me, today i artificially conjore the feeling, and it feels good, my body and mind immediately activates. No need for any conditon, just pretend you are excited.

The only way to happiness : deliberate practice
Nature, life, evolution is always pushing to a higher complex system. The higher complex system is more rewarded with energy or money. God is actually another word for life. Some how in this universe, things exists, from nothing to atom to human life to advance mathematics and weiqi joseki, structure is pushing itself to be more and more complex, this mysterious force is called god. Happinesss is a signal that you are following evolution who wants you to be more and more advance.
IF you only remember one thing i want you to remember deliberate practice. Practice the things that is hard that few people can do. Hard work, diligence, perserverence. The masters need 10,000 hours average to be good at what they do.
This link here is about deliberate practice which i also saved up to free drive:http://money.cnn.com/2008/10/21/magazines/fortune/talent_colvin.fortune/index.htm
this two books which i gonna get explains everything.
talent is overate by geoff covin
the dip by seth godin

Detach from your emotion
Probably the only anti stress technique that may work. Comparing against open focus brain techniques.
Open focus brain by Les Fehmi
Yesterday I found the Open Focus Brain by Les Fehmi book in popolar book store.
I think it explains how all the meditation and therapy including talk therapy works. The brain need to have a diffuse and broad attention in order to go into parasympathetic mood. Also focusing on space, large space works very well because in space the brain does not have an object to activate all its defense and attack circuit, so the brain takes a back seat. This explains why i so much want to live in a desert and why in my meditation looking at the emptiness in front of my eyes and myself being infinit space is so effective.
The book could potentially cure all my stress problems.

Deliberate practice, karate, poker, Oracle
If my sons use deliberate practice to perfect karate, poker, and Oracle. They would have learned all that is necessary to be happy in life.

Break a big task down to simple parts & do things one at a time
The other 50% of your problem is non people related, it is object related.
Hence the above only technique that works.
Hence the above only technique that works.
Poker is the most important practice
Forget about all those mindfulness and positive thinking and ying yang mumbo jumbo. 50% of your problems is due to other people. The only way to solve the problems is using poker game theory thinking.
When you deal with difficult people, there is a lot of times you need to play the chicken game, see who back down first. You need to be willing to take risk and not afraid of losing. Only then people would not bully you. Most of the time the cost of both sides losing the chicken game is much less than the psychological cost of backing down from the chicken game where the bully continue bullying you long term.
Another poker skill that can be applied to life is detach from your emotion. Dont need to detach from thinking, all else you gonna think? Detach from your emotion and let thinking continue.
You need courage to fight with other people. Strong muscles builds up courage. Thus you need to learn karate or do weight lifting. If you practice only weight lifting, it would be deadlift, totally addictive.
