Keep it simple. Just decide for yourself and stick to it (see post No.8). That is what my teacher says, too.

Remember this song?

They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town
With political connections to spread his wealth around
Born into society, a banker's only child
He had everything a man could want: power, grace, and style

But I work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be
Oh I wish that I could be
Oh I wish that I could be
Richard Cory

The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show
And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht!
Oh he surely must be happy with everything he's got

But I, I work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be
Oh I wish that I could be
Oh I wish that I could be
Richard Cory

He freely gave to charity, he had the common touch
And they were grateful for his patronage and they thanked him very much
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read:
"Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head"

But I, I work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be
Oh I wish that I could be
Oh I wish that I could be
Richard Cory

Paul Simon, 1966

Hello soaring crane and co., and thank you. I am in Prague. It really is a stone´s throw to where you live.

I am no compulsive writer but still I wish I could contribute. Anyway, looking forward to being here. Best wishes to you all. T.

Greetings from Central Europe, which seems to be rather underrepresented at this distinguished forum. I am interested in Yijing, practice taijiquan, qigong and bagua. I have followed this forum for some time, hesitating to join only out of respect to other members. I wonder if I can contribute but I am glad to be here. Thank you.
