Plan To Straighten Out Entire Life During Weeklong Vacation Yields Mixed Results - The Onion
-
"You have to make a conscious effort every day," Hatcher said. "You can't spend years letting things fall apart and then fix it all in seven days. It's just not possible. Perhaps if Derek had had two weeks off, he might have been able to catch up on a sizable portion of his tasks, but he won't be getting two weeks of vacation at his job for at least another three years, before which time he'll most certainly be fired for being so disorganized. So there's no real point in talking about it."

Early Retirement
Also see "Investing for Early retirees" and "Choosing a place to live for early retirees."

This article is written primarily for Americans. We have "pursuit of happiness" written right into our Declaration of Independence. A working person, however, does not expect to be happy all the time. Every job has unpleasant elements and drudgery. The working person imagines that if he didn't have to work, he would be happy 24/7. It would be like going to Disneyland every day. Suppose that you are retired. At this point, your one job is the pursuit of happiness. If you are not happy, therefore you are a failure at your job and in your life. But how can you be happy 24/7?

When you're indoctrinated into a cult, they change your vocabulary. They do this so that if you see any of your old friends & family, they'll seem odd to you. You'll talk to them and they just won't "get" what you're talking about.
When the Hero returns home from his journey, he often becomes bigger than the small town he grew up in. His concerns are greater, his thoughts on not just his village, but the world.
Whenever I read a good book, I often feel the same way. As if the insights I've gained are too difficult to pass on to other people. The way I see the world, the way I organize information is influenced by the books I've read, and these are some of the most influential.

Edge Perspectives with John Hagel: Tour de France - The Razor's Edge
Surely the only thing worse than crashing and burning from pushing too hard is never pushing at all.
-
"on edge"...referring to the elusive moment when all systems are working at optimum efficiency. It is made possible by supercompensation, that physiological tendency of bodies under stress to protect themselves by getting stronger . . .up to a point. After that point â the edge of the icy ridge, so to speak â the body protects itself by shutting down...the most magical part being that you get better at it as you get older.
