Eire – Tired, I come home; carefully placing my scabbard on the table as I crouch down to a meal of tepid water. So tired of the battle… so tired

"Work smart not hard"
I thought that was a clever and clean little quote (relayed by one of my computer class instructors, today). It's right up there with, "Pain happens but suffering is an option" and "To survive is to row upstream but to truly live is to flow downstream." I could go on with these all day, lol.

Another wonderful insight I found, from the new book Outliers, is that it takes roughly 10,000 hours (around 10 years of regular daily hours of focus) to become an expert at s... read more
