\n“Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.”
\n– Winston Churchill<\/p>\n

“Study without reflection is a waste of time; reflection without study is dangerous.”
\n– Confucius<\/p>\n

“The trouble with modern education is you never know how ignorant people are. … these young people have such an intelligent, knowledgeable surface, and then the crust suddenly breaks and you look down into depths of confusion you didn’t know existed.”
\n– a character in “Brideshead Revisited” by Evelyn Waugh
\n(the bonus quote for all educators on my flist)<\/i>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is nothing more practical than sound thinking. No matter what your circumstance or goals, no matter where you are, or what problems you face, you are better off if your thinking is skilled. As a manager, leader, employee, citizen, lover, friend, parent \u00e2\u20ac\u201d in every realm and situation of your life \u00e2\u20ac\u201d good thinking pays off. Poor thinking, in turn, inevitably causes problems, wastes time and energy, engenders frustration and pain.<\/p>\n
