Ecology.
Ecology is basically the study of how everything is related to everything else.
Did you know the word comes from the Greek oikos which means “house” + logy (study of). So, ecology is basically the study of the “house.”
I think that’s amazing.
Our world is one big house—everything (yes, everything) is RELATED to everything else just like a family living in a house.
Stunning.
…
How’s your house?

I am not more gifted than the average human being. If you know anything about history, you would know that is so--what hard times I had in studying and the fact that I do not have a memory like some other people do… I am just more curious than the average person and I will not give up on a problem until I have found the proper solution. This is one of my greatest satisfactions in life--solving problems--and the harder they are, the more satisfaction do I get out of them. Maybe you could consider me a bit more patient in continuing with my problem than is the average human being. Now, if you understand what I have just told you, you see that it is not a matter of being more gifted but a matter of being more curious and maybe more patient until you solve a problem.
