Outwitting the devil

-Those who do little or no thinking for themselves are drifters. A drifter is one who permits himself

to be influenced and controlled by circumstances outside

ofhis own mind.

-The mind is nothing more than the sum total of one's habitsI

Hill mentioned that todays public education system teaches people everything, except how to use their mind.

Think of young chil- dren during kindergarten and first grade. They are enthusi- astic and volunteer for everything, raising their hands and excited to learn.

Now fast-forward ten years, and think about those same children as high school students-the ones sitting in the back of the class, never making eye contact with adults, and absolutely never volunteering or asking a question. They have disengaged from the learning process. What happened to these children? Ten years of schooling.
