I've found this too: the world is simple to big, to complicated, to take
it all in at once.

So I divide it, and myself. Myself, I divide into four parts: mind,
heart, body, soul. The idea of such a division is to a) order life; b)
enable me to recgonize area's I'm interested in; and c) allow me to
identify weaknesses, that I might strenghtn them.

Balance is the key. Work on each "element" equally, and live a
diversified life.

But I don't have enough time now to do all four, so I'm focussing on
two: mind and soul. About another month, when I return to Queens, I'm
moving back to a quad study.
