The Good Life

"Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time" 

This quote really means a lot to me it keeps making me keep on going with life and with my future. I learn that The good life we all want is found at the intersection of science, knowledge, philosophy, and wisdom. The easiest place for you to find the "good life" is in this combination.

I recently started reading a new book " The element how to find your passion in life" Really good book I'm currently in chapter 4 
I'll be updating 3 new things that I'll learn at the end of the book.
