Last week on IT Skills we got to see a movie called "Educating Rita". At a certain point in the movie Rita, a mature student trying to better herself by taking up higher education, sees her own dissatisfaction with her life put into words by her mother, when see said "there must be a better song to sing". Funny that.
A better song to sing. Once you've seen the movie, you realise that it is not so much a better song to sing, but a different one that Rita is looking for. For some, that particular life, that particular song was not just good enough, but all they wanted. Now, that problem is, when you come accross people sucha s rita and her mother. You have reflected there the two ways you can face this dissatisfaction, you can either try to move on, move away from that life, as Rita did, or you can go along with the motions, do what is expected of you and stick by it as Rita's mother did.
A better song to sing, or just a different one. I think it is all about finding the right one for you. It might take a while to find the right tune for you, but once you've found it, you just have to dare it, and try it, sing it, and see if it feels good, if it feels right. I believe that us, as mature students, same as rita, now a thing or two about this from our own personal experiences. We probably didn't like our song much, or we want to try a new one, and here, this is how we prepare and tune our instruments foe us to play along.
A better song to sing.

Well said Arturo,as some times the process of searching the right tune becomes even more important than the tune itself and tranformes ours personalities inevitably.
