* i have learned the hard way that market timing is very difficult and is generally a terrible idea. and so it is for most village residents - just as it once was for old james gilbert. in most other nations, the results have been even worse. again, unlike military schools and boot camps, our emphasis and main tool is a change of heart, not fear or breaking of the spirit. does that mean people will be able to choose, after a certain period, to go back? gives me goose bumps every time i read it.
