You’re right – being practical is definitely more efficient! I wouldn’t put Bookley aside completely, though – if you’re enjoying that project, then maybe concentrate less on it but don’t give it up completely… who knows, it may become popular eventually once it’s up and running, but you’ll never know until you get it up and running!

Thanks! Emotions are important but I think most Americans use them too much in important decisions. You don’t have to buy brand name products. Instead of buying 20 oz. Coke, buy the two liter bottles, refrigerate them, then pour them into reused water bottles. It’s not emotionally satisfying, but it’s practical.

I’ve always gone in too many directions. The last two articles have been better, though. Well, the last one was all over the place too… just this one then. See, I’m doing it now!

Interesting topic! I agree with what you have written, too bad that I can’t always be practical; some times we are just driven by emotions .

p.s i find your posts very interesting, but some times you try to make too many points and you go into too many directions which are hard to follow.
