Just realized that Bob Murphy is only four years older then me

He was born in 1976, four years before me and i haven’t even produced a fraction of the productivity he has. Damn it! I’m feeling very lazy and unaccomplished right now–I need to step it up

What would be a scholars routine for study?

Isn’t it better to write one great book than a thousand bad ones? Quality is what makes you respected and remembered, not quantity. Worry about these things one step at a time.

While I don’t consider him Alexander the Great (With no offense intended towards Robert Murphy) , I thought this was fitting of his thread,

After her funeral, in the spring or early summer of 69 BC, Caesar went to serve his quaestorship in Hispania under Antistius Vetus. While there he is said to have encountered a statue of Alexander the Great, and realised with dissatisfaction he was now at an age when Alexander had the world at his feet, while he had achieved comparatively little.

He’s 14 years older than me.
