Today much of what we call education is merely knowledge gathering and remembering. Problem solving and thinking, never strong parts of our educational system, have been downgraded in all but a few scientific subjects.

We don't focus as much in schools on educational knowledge which requires thinking and application, as we do on acquiring facts.

If you want to change attitudes, start with a change in behavior. In other words, begin to act the part, as well as you can, of the person you would rather be, the person you most want to become. Gradually, the old, fearful person will fade away.

The answer lies in preventing these failures, not in looking for better ways to fix the people who are failing.

I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture.

Good or bad, everything we do is our best choice at that moment.

They have this big book called the 'DSM-IV,' you know, that is supposedly written about crazy people, but I think it is a book that is written by crazy people!
