Living is the most important category of action. I am understanding because I want to know how to feel good. Studying informs what actions I take. Consequently, what I am sharing are things I learned from studying and applying them in daily living. This sharing, however, is tertiary. Living first then studying. This means that I am a researcher first before I am a writer.
Being good at living and thinking is more important than being a good writer—it is also a harder work. Therefore, the Five areas of my life work are in a hierarchy:
- Living
- Studying
- Sharing
- connecting
- facilitating
I am putting connecting below sharing because I think it is easier to connect to others if one has already shared something and has something to show people.
