Answer 2

In an article for the News of The World, Pietersen said: “At the moment, being part of the England squad is a pretty damn lonely place to be. We don’t need anybody to tell us how dreadful we were on Friday or how it’s vital we salvage something from these last two games. We realise that every time we get together as a group. It’s our responsibility to put it right, nobody else’s. There’s nobody who can dig England out of this hole except ourselves.” “Now, though, it might be that I have to change my approach a little. Everything that has gone on this winter has just intensified the pressure and the expectation and it’s become mentally gruelling and tough to keep doing the same things,” he adds. also, to confirm from a second source "At the moment, being part of the England squad is a pretty damn lonely place to be ... the only game we've won this winter was down to the fact the West Indies couldn't add up properly." Kevin Pietersen reiterates the misery he currently feels as England's tour of the Caribbean draws to a close -Mar 29, 2009

Answer 3

Dietrich Bonhoeffer:

To understand reality is not the same as to know about outward events. It is to perceive the essential nature of things. The best-informed man is not necessarily the wisest. Indeed there is a danger that precisely in the multiplicity of his knowledge he will lose sight of what is essential. But on the other hand, knowledge of an apparently trivial detail quite often makes it possible to see into the depth of things. And so the wise man will seek to acquire the best possible knowledge about events, but always without becoming dependent upon this knowledge. To recognize the significant in the factual is wisdom.
