Just like our bodies need good food every day, our minds need good
thoughts every day. The key words in the preceding sentence are good food and
good thoughts. If we feed our body with junk food and our mind with bad
thoughts, we will have both a sick body and mind. We need to feed our mind with
the pure and the positive to stay on track. Through constant practice and
exposure, we can learn the principles that make a person successful just like
we learn to play basketball.
Knowledge is Power
We hear every day that
knowledge is power. Not really. Knowledge is information. It is potential power
and it becomes power only when it is acted upon. What is the difference between
a person who cannot read and a person who can but does not read? Not a whole
lot. Learning is like eating food. It is not how much you eat that matters,
what counts is how much you digest. Knowledge is potential power, wisdom is
real power. Education takes many forms, it is not just grades and a degree. It
is cultivating your strength learning self-discipline listening desiring to
learn .Our
minds, like muscles, stretch or shrink depending on how much or how little we
exercise them.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. --Derek Bok
Continuous positive education leads to positive thinking.
