Question: do we have to stay at the level we pick forever? Or can it be
for shorter times? Because I'd take ten, but only for a week or so. Vacation,
escape, time to self, self-renewal, rest for the weary, etc.
<p>Long-term, I'd take six. In the middle, edging more towards comfort
and peace of mind, but with the capability for achievement. I like moderation,
and this gives me a bit of both extremes without losing myself--on the
one end, you lose yourself in the struggle and give everything up for the
accomplishment, and on the other end, you lose yourself because there is
no challenge. I'm self-centered enough to want to keep me, but challenged
enough to want *some* accomplishment.
<p>That make sense?
