You can see clearly that both my wants and needs are very similar, I believe this is a good and bad thing. Good because it shows I want to achieve what I have to - there is not really an area I know I have to develop which I don't want to do. However, it may also be seen as a bad thing as there is no extra 'fun' things I want to achieve that I don't have to.
