“ You study with the aim to master a subject. To develop mastery as knowledge is power.” A life balanced in the active and contemplative is considered an ideal.“ Do not stop asking questions,” he urged.“ Think about what matters- why are you here?” In doing so, we can be authentic in following our passion or interest.
“ You are here to figure out what in your life is nonnegotiable," Beha concluded. " To realize a fullness of your life here and now: this is the life of leisure. You flourish in the now, so that you can always say‘ this was a full life’.” •
