Simple (?) Thermodynamics
I remember a line from a physical chemistry book which says:
"Some things naturally happen, some things don't."
Thus, the concept of spontaneity.
Wow. What a useful insight that can easily find its use in dealing with life! And to think the line came from a chemistry textbook.. (phychem for that matter)

I was studying thermodynamics (again for the boards) when I realized that I am indeed using up a whole lot of energy just so i can proceed with this obviously non-spontaneous action (called studying). Talk about applying what you've learned.
