 <html>@&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/156&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Tin Whistle&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;tinwhistle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Here's the thing: I have no focus. At all. I love biology, literature, architecture, film, art, history, chemistry, language, archaeology, philosophy, medicine, botony, anatomy, writing, sports, television, and a bajillion other things, but I have yet to put any particular effort or focus into one thing or another. I am, indeed, a dabbler. In fact, i'm one of that universally hated class of &amp;quot;THOSE&amp;quot; kids, the ones who study for ten minutes the morning before class and get nice gades all around. So what exactly does this mean? Am I a bad person? I might be a bit biased, but i tend to think not... Please forgive me, but I tend to be a bit direct: Evaluating a person by their focus or lack thereof is not at all a good thing. As Epictetus says: &amp;quot;Does someone drink a great deal of wine? Do not say that they do this badly, but that they drink a great deal. For until you understand their motives, how do you know what they do is bad?&amp;quot;</html>
