Dear Kate:

I think it is an excellent idea to see life as a school and focus on learning. Life as school is way more important for one’s well being than formal education.

If in the context of a relationship you do things differently, placing your own needs as most important and aiming at a Win-Win relationship, then you can experience the kind of relationship that will do wonders for you. With your needs in the forefront and a Win-Win attitude you can wisely choose the right man to get involved with, evaluate him and your interactions with him over time, before you place your head over his chest and hear his heart (a precious memory you have of the last boyfriend). Once you hear his heart beating like that, you are already invested, before you know him, before you know if a Win-Win is likely.

Please do post anytime!
