'Just as eating against ones will is injurious to health, so study without a liking for it spoils the memory, and it retains nothing it takes in. andquot;
thats why i dont think much of school, its not like you suddenly know how to do everything you are told and since there is so much pressure in school its harder to like it.
‘Most video games are a better teacher than school because they teach you how to think, rather than what to think.’
yea, i think so too, theyve caused me to learn quicker mental reflexes, more complex strategizing and such.
Never sit in a public place with your back to the door.
All of your problems are trivial in comparison to the inevitability of your impending death.

I give no credit for the quotes, because they are within me, and have become mine.

‘If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember that this whole thing was started by a mouse.’ Walt Disney
Life is like a game of free cell. (I feel a forest Gump moment coming on!) It seems at times I am engulfed in information and sometimes of all the information surrouning me none of it is a begining! I have to dig to find somewhere to start and then once I’ve found a starting point its only one in an infinite possibility of starts. I then have to search for the next step in the information super highway!
Sometimes i may be lucky and a start just presents itself or it just happens to be in the same place as me, other times I’m stranded waiting for a bus that never comes!
If you knew reality was percived like glass would you still spend you life looking through it instead of at it?
Me!
