Another thing I think should be avoided is extremely intense ideology because it cabbages up one's mind...when you're young it's easy to drift into royalties and when you announce that you're a loyal member...and you're gradually ruining your mind.
I believe in the discipline of mastering the best that other people have ever figured out.I don't believe in just sitting down and trying to dream it all up yourself.
I met the towering intellectuals in books, not in classroom, which is natural.My family was into all that stuff, getting ahead through discipline, knowledge, and self-control.
