Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion. - Jim Rohn I have many Chinese students who, because I teach them one to one and have forged a relationship with them, tell me a great deal about their personal life. One of the things I have learned is that Middle School and University students spend time, during grade 7, 10 and their freshman year in university, training in the military. Personally, I would hate it and don't ascribe to its practice. However, as an observer of political economy and nation states, I must admit that it is of incredible benefit. China has a vibrance to it and it owes this in part to the level of discipline that exists throughout its society. On the contrary, in the US, there is a malaise that runs deep within its core. It is rotting from the inside out. Everywhere, you here the cry of how great America is, an affirmation without any discipline. It is a profound self-delusion and it is about to bite us all squarely on the ass.

I rode my bike up a mountain path behind the Forestry College. Near the top, there was this little hut that I guess some of the students stay at. Behind the hut, there are some yak, reindeer and other assorted wild game. Not sure what it was all about, but a nice peaceful place only about 20-30 minutes from my post modernist habitation in Kunming

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. - Ralph Waldo Emerson We are a product of nature, albeit an infinitesimal one. Nature includes quantum particles, black holes, and the expanding parts of the universe filled with dark energy. Within the scope of space-time, patience is really the only option.
