[Quote No.44026] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Beware... Human Nature abhors a vacuum, that is any explanation for a 'mystery' is better than none, even if it is unjustified by the facts, so always approach all explanations, facts and predictions with skepticism until confirmed by your own research:] To trace something unknown back to something known is alleviating, soothing, gratifying and gives moreover a feeling of power. Danger, disquiet, anxiety attend the unknown – the first instinct is to eliminate these distressing states. First principle: any explanation is better than none... The cause-creating drive is thus conditioned and excited by the feeling of fear... " - Friedrich Nietzsche

[Quote No.44079] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"Gentlemen, you are now about to embark on a course of studies that will form a noble adventure... let me make this clear to you... nothing that you will learn in the course of your studies will be of the slightest possible use to you in afterlife – save only this – that if you work hard and intelligently, you should be able to detect when a man is talking rot, and that, in my view, is the main, if not the sole purpose of education." - John Alexander Smith
(1863–1939), Idealist philosopher, who was the Jowett Lecturer of philosophy at Balliol College, Oxford from 1896 to 1910, and the Waynflete Professor of Moral and Metaphysical Philosophy, carrying a Fellowship at Magdalen College in the same university, from 1910 to 1936.

[Quote No.44209] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"I meet far too many people who respond to a new idea or suggestion with, 'Let me tell you how I do it,' or, 'I disagree.' Their immediate response is to protect their own thinking patterns or try to prove they know more. These are people with sclerosis of the mind. Too many people don't change because they're afraid to admit they're wrong or inefficient or ineffective. Strong people change all the time because they know that's how they continue to improve." - Dr. Alan Weiss

[Quote No.44316] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"The greatest derangement of the mind is to believe in something because one wishes it to be so [rather than the skeptical review of the evidence supports that opinion]." - Louis Pasteur
(1822 - 1895), French chemist and microbiologist who was one of the most important founders of medical microbiology. He is remembered for his remarkable breakthroughs in the causes and preventions of diseases. His discoveries reduced mortality from puerperal fever, and he created the first vaccines for rabies and anthrax. His experiments supported the germ theory of disease. He was best known to the general public for inventing a method to stop milk and wine from causing sickness, a process that came to be called pasteurization. He is regarded as one of the three main founders of microbiology, together with Ferdinand Cohn and Robert Koch. Pasteur also made many discoveries in the field of chemistry, most notably the molecular basis for the asymmetry of certain crystals.

[Quote No.44326] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"The [Jewish sacred text the] Talmud states that all suffering [frustration, failure, etc] is purposeful. When we suffer, we should view it as a message to check our behavior for areas we can [learn more about and thereby] improve.
Viewing suffering as meaningless increases one's pain. When you find meaning and purpose in suffering, it becomes much easier to bear [gratefully]. The more meaning you see, the lighter the burden [and the easier to be grateful for it]. The worst suffering is when one feels there is no purpose in it." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
