... who was homeless, yet he was very familiar with the ups and downs of the stock market. How did he learn so much? He pulled the wall Street Journal from the trash and mentally absorbed it. Unfortunately, he never applied the knowledge he learned.
This is a critical point to understand. Knowledge is like a bank savings account - You have to save, but you also have to put your savings to good use. In the words of Andrew Carnegie, I resolved to stop accumulating and begin the infinitely more serious and difficult task of wise distribution.

Therefore, mindfulness is carried into everyday situations. What good is learning Yoga, if you cannot apply it to real life?
