[Quote No.44881] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches [wisdom, compassion and self-discipline]. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness, and the willingness to remain vulnerable." - Anne Morrow Lindbergh

[Quote No.45183] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Seek advice from others:] One might expect that a wise person to whom people come for advice would rely on his own wisdom and not feel a need to consult others. Whereas a fool should realize he frequently makes mistakes and should therefore seek counsel from others before taking action.
In reality, it is just the opposite. The wise person, though justified in relying on his own judgment, nevertheless listens to the advice of others. He realizes his biases and prejudices might cause him to make errors in his own matters. The fool, however, who should realize how often he makes mistakes, considers himself wise and does not listen to what others have to say. " - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
Quote from his book 'Gateway to Happiness', p.264.

[Quote No.45186] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"Repetition Makes it Real:
If you want a concept to become part of your habitual thought process, keep repeating it to yourself again and again. Even though you might not gain a deeper understanding of the concept, the constant repetition enables you to internalize it until it becomes part of your own way of thinking.
The Talmud relates that Rabbi Prayda had a student who needed to hear a lesson 400 times until he comprehended it. Rabbi Moshe Rosenstein used to say that when it comes to elevating our attitudes, we are all the same as that student. If we sincerely want to integrate a new attitude, we need to repeat it over and over again. Even if a person is highly intelligent, unless he reviews the concepts hundreds of times, they will not be properly ingrained. [Repetition is the mother of skill, insight and assimilation.]" - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.45192] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"The greatest teacher in the world is known as: 'Trial and error.' This has given more people more wisdom than any other teacher possibly could. 'There is no greater wise person than someone with experience.'
What does it mean to have experience? It means that one has learned from trial and error. If everyone would get it right the first time, experience would not be needed.
Having the courage to try - even though you might make a mistake - enables you to learn from trial and error. This is a valuable reframe.
Instead of becoming overly frustrated or discouraged when you make a mistake, realize that you are now becoming wiser." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
Quote from his book, 'Courage'.

[Quote No.45296] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Be skeptical and investigate if you are to find out the truth. Only then will you be able to make informed choices and thereby make the best use of your birth-right of freedom:] Shake off all fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God, because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear." - Thomas Jefferson

[Quote No.45322] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"It is often asserted that discussion is only possible between people who have a common language and accept common basic assumptions.
I think that this is a mistake.
All that is needed is a readiness to learn from one's partner in the discussion, which includes a genuine wish to understand what he intends to say.
If this readiness is there, the discussion will be the more fruitful the more the partner's backgrounds differ." - Karl Popper
