Yes, I can see that risk thing.

I think personally I've done things the hard way a lot because if I'd
done it the right way I would have finished way too soon.

And yes, out of sheer boredom. Probably a left over from my school days
where I used to do things like learn to write with my left hand so I
wouldn't be finished with the essays in 10 minutes when we had to sit
there for three hours.

I used to invent things to make it more challenging. Like writing an
essay with a chinese calligraphy brush. Once I handed one in in mirror
writing. Another time I used the finest Rotring architects drawing pen
available and wrote the whole thing on a piece of paper the size of a
postage stamp in miniature. The teachers hated me ... LOL.

But then one has to look out because such things become a habit.

Man, all that entrainment. I used to get it about five minutes into the
lecture and there was still a whole semester to go ... gee.

It is very heartening to now clearly understand that there is always
more awaiting, and I'm not at school anymore.

Thank the universe ...

The right way. Not the hard way, or the time wasting way to combat
boredom. PLEASE!
