Subject: RE: BS: You are a student of what things?
I don't think study is necessarily work, achmelvich. Nor is work necessarily a bad thing. Confucius is often credited with the phrase "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life". I doubt it was him and I don't really know why yet, whoever it was, it is almost true. I say almost because you still have to work at the things you love, but it is not the kind of work we usually refer to.

Still, I am not one for homespun philosophy. Remembering instead the words of my favourite philosopher, Terry Pratchett. "Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life."
