Back to School

In Finding Flow, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (pronounced "chick-SENT-me-high") wrote:

"In fact the Greek term for leisure, scholea, is the root from which our word "school" comes from, since the idea was that the best use for leisure was to study. Unfortunately, this ideal is seldom realised."

"It is how we choose what we do, and how we approach it, that will determine whether the sum of our days adds up to a formless blur, or to something resembling a work of art."

Art school anyone?
