Remember what Merlin said about learning: 
"The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, 
"is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow 
old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to 
the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world 
about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honor trampled in the sewers 
of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then- to learn. Learn why the world 
wags and what wags it. That is the the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, 
never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of 
regretting. Learning is the thing for you. Look at what a lot of things there are 
to learn- pure science, the only purity there is. You can learn astronomy in a 
lifetime, natural history in three, literature in six. And then, after you have 
exhausted a million lifetimes in biology and medicine and theocriticism and 
geography and history and economics, why, you can start to make a cartwheel out of 
the appropriate wood, or spend fifty years learning to begin to learn to beat your 
adversary at fencing. After that you can start on mathematics until it is time to 
learn to plough."
