- "Flow" by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

I have been writing a lot about enjoying ping pong. And I could not fully explain or convey
this feelings of enjoyment, and the benefits of exercise, companionship, and laughter.
Dan said,"It's exhilarating!" Or, Ron said, "Euphoria!" Or, Jan said, this morning,
"Great fun!" Why? The above feelings are experienced simultaneously. And that feeling is
called "Flow" by Mihaly.

"Repression is not the way to virtue. When people restrain themselves out of fear, their lives
are by necessity, diminished,"
"Only freely chosen discipline can life be enjoyed and still kept within the bounds of reason"
- Mihaly.
Try something you like. Pleasure is short. Satisfaction with many
real joys will guarantee you a life without regrets, like should have, could have and would have. Any questions and criticisms are welcome.
