It has been a while since i blogged last so thought i'd make it relo.
Study and the gain of understanding has gotten man far but why do we not want to study or learn so often. Could university be done in a better richer way so that this was not the case?
Friends are like a warm drink on a cold day and can be thoroughly adictive but can also run dry and people can get thirsty and suffer.
When we have to we can do thing we never thought we could. If only we could do it with out the pressure of university and others.
We all have the potential to be great.
Whats the difference between the mind and the soul. If any one actually reads my blog can they please answer this last one question even if their answer is "i dont really know".
Thanks everyone. Cal

as apparently one of your only commenters I'm going to make an attempt to answer your questions...
number 1 "Study and the gain of understanding has gotten man far but why do we not want to study or learn so often. Could university be done in a better richer way so that this was not the case?"
No... I don't think so. I think most students come into university because they've been brainwashed into thinking it's the thing to do when they leave school and not because they want to learn (hence why mature students are so keen)
question 2 "difference between mind and soul" - I kinda know but couldn't explain well enough, but I know this one :D
Well, according to the Oxford Dictionary of English (2nd edition revised):
mind
→ noun
1. the element of a person that enables them to be aware of the world and their experiences, to think, and to feel; the faculty of consciousness and thought: a lot of thoughts ran through my mind.
2. a person's ability to think and reason; the intellect: his keen mind.
• a person's memory: the company's name slips my mind. • a particular way of thinking, influenced by a person's profession or environment: he had a deep contempt for the bureaucratic mind. • a person identified with their intellectual faculties: he was one of the greatest minds of his time.
3. a person's attention: employees should keep their minds on the job.
• a person's will or determination to achieve something: anyone can slim if they set their mind to it.
soul
→ noun
1. the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal.
• a person's moral or emotional nature or sense of identity: in the depths of her soul, she knew he would betray her.
2. [mass noun] emotional or intellectual energy or intensity, especially as revealed in a work of art or an artistic performance: their interpretation lacked soul.
• black American culture or ethnic pride. • short for soul music.
3. a person regarded as the embodiment of a specified quality: he was the soul of discretion.
• an individual person: I'll never tell a soul | it was bad news for some poor soul. • a person regarded with affection or pity: she's a nice old soul.
