Tools for hard working students.
Life - is not nothing but a persistent teacher. She will repeat the lesson over and over again (and again and again) until it is learned. As life will know we have learned it? This will happen when we change our behavior (or change the internal or both). Up to this point, even if we own mind "know" something, we do not really learn it. And learning the lessons continue.The good news is that in the end we still know everything we need to know. The bad news: the lessons will continue for as long as we do not learn.For some, however, "in the end" - it is not too fast. If there is something that they can learn and that in the end will make their lives happier, healthier and more productive, why not learn it now? This will bring us happiness, health and productivity is much faster and saves us from having to sit on the many lessons (possibly painful). It makes sense.Others disagree learn only what they "need" to know. They want more. They, like us, are among the "impatient students" who read books with titles such as LIFE 101.Someone once said that there are only two things that drive an enlightened person - this is love and curiosity. We can not talk about the level of our enlightenment, but we can say that, given the level of our curiosity, we are fortunate that we are not cats.As pointed out by more than a hundred years ago, Anatole France, "the art of teaching is to awaken the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of their further satisfaction."But what if we are interested in the issues on which there are no answers? Once in such a predicament, we tend to reassure myself with the thought of Emerson: "Sure, we have no questions to which it would be impossible to find the answers. So we must trust the perfection of creation, to believe that whatever curiosity was aroused any existing order of things in our minds, the order of things can satisfy it. ""Life has been conceived in order to live it - wrote in his autobiography, Eleanor Roosevelt - and curiosity must be kept constantly alive. Whatever the reason, you can never turn your back to life."In this part of the book you will find a set of tools designed to maintain your interest alive. These tools can be used to find the answers to have satisfying conditions that can cause your interest. This is - technology to speed up the process of learning.By the way, you can choose any of these tools. Nobody needs to know or use all of them to learn the necessary lessons of life. And because this is so, there is no need to fight, thinking that if you do not master them, your life will not succeed. Treat these techniques easily. Experiment.Play with them. Have fun.At the same time, there is no need to transfer knowledge about these tools to others, and even more so to insist that people treat you as if they have already mastered them. The school of life experience is gained by such a choice of everyone. If you wish to use some or all of the tools for its rapid development, it is fine, but please do not expect - and certainly do not ask - that others also accelerated its development.Before we begin, let's try to understand why people spend so much time fighting against the knowledge, why we as a species as opposed to opening a new one.You never asked yourself these questions?
