I like this. Though it is not quite accurate. It is possible to "care"
yet not have the talent to achieve. I can care about being a first
class athlete as much as I like but if I do not have the correct
genetics it will not happen.
I think that the caring is a prerequisite of attention. It is
attention which facilitates the achievement of, or discernment of,
quality. Or am I missing something?
regards,
Ian
