The thinking behind "Eight Year Project" rests on a philosophy, my philosophy, that humans live their lives in 8 years cycles, and the fourth cycle being the most important. The first 8 years, we spend learning about the world around us, how to interact with it, and adapt to the culture we live in. The following 8 years are spent developing our minds, shaping our morals, ethics, passions, and views on life. By the time that second cycle is over, we are ready to look at the world and decide how we are to contribute to it. During the third cycle, we really come into our own, and develop into the free-thinking-human-beings that we will be for the rest of our lives. While doing so, we embark in the journey of our lives.
