What I've Been Reading

You are only as young as the last time you changed your mind. 

Excellent Advice for Living: Wisdom I Wish I'd Known Earlier by Kevin Kelly. 

I had read most of it from his blog posts but yet having all these precious little sentences in one book is invaluable. Please read it and give it to someone younger. 

  • Paradoxically, the worst evils in the world are committed by those who truly believe they are combating evil. Be extremely vigilant with yourself when facing evil. 
  • Perhaps the most counterintuitive truth of the universe is that more you give to others, the more you';; get. Understanding this is the beginning of wisdom.
  • If your opinions on one subject can be predicted from your opinions on another, you may be in the grip of ideology. When you truly think for yourself, your conclusions will not be predictable. 
  • The stronger your beliefs, the stronger your reasons to question them regularly. Don't simply believe everything you think you believe. 
  • The greatest teacher is called "doing."
