Only an open mind still has room for new knowledge. What is outgrown and used up must be discarded to make room for what is yet to be learned. And much of the best thinking is done alone-in deserts, on beaches, in bed, behind closed doors. It is why we say we need to get away-to escape from clutter and busyness-to hear ourselves think.
Robert FulghumThe older I get, the more I realize the importance of exercising the various dimensions of my body, soul, mind, and heart. Taken together, these aspects give me a sense of wholeness. I want to be a whole human being rather than one who limps on one leg because I don't know how to use all of my parts. Intellectual, emotional, and physical activity are not separate entities. Rather, they are dimensions of the same human being.
Robert FulghumEvery person passing through this life will unknowingly leave something and take something away. Most of this โsomethingโ cannot be seen or heard or numbered or scientifically detected or counted. Itโs what we leave in the minds of other people and what they leave in ours. Memory. The census doesnโt count it. Nothing counts without it.
