become a polymath

I am no longer at University right now. Took a 6-12 (my choice) month deferral to work and pay down some debts instead. Plus it is nice to have a break from institutionalised learning; after 12 years of school plus 18 months of university I am at the end of my tether in that kind of learning environment.

Went to a DIY show in Brisbane which turned out to be rather interesting. I want to try my hand at woodworking. Specifically, I would like to make some furniture in the long run. Just one of the many things to add to the list.

Finally, a really interesting and rather inspiring person is the American adventurer John Goddard. He made a list of 127 things he wanted to achieve and so far has achieved over 100 of them. His website is here: http://www.johngoddard.info/
And his list is on this side-link: http://www.johngoddard.info/life_list.htm

I recommend it to everyone here. I started my own list as well and am linking it to a Bucket List.

I found an excellent book that has explained a few things to me. Called “The Renaissance Soul – Life Design for People with Too Many Passions to Pick Just One” by Margaret Lobenstine.

While I am only just becoming an adult, the book is very enlightening and certainly offers some guidance, especially on how to manage changing careers and life interests, etc. which is quite frequent for me.
