“One thing I hate about the New Deal is that it is killing what, to me, is the American pioneering spirit. I simply do not know what to tell my own boys, leaving school and confronting this new world whose ideal is Security and whose practice is dependence upon government instead of upon one's self. All the old character-values seem simply insane from a practical point of view; the self-reliant, the independent, the courageous man is penalized from every direction.” KnowsMenWorldSelfCharacterSeemsGovernmentSchoolSpiritValuesHateMy OwnViewsDealsBoysPracticeOne ThingSecurityIdealsI HateIndependentKillingLeavingPoint Of ViewPracticalsInsaneCourageousNew WorldDependenceConfrontingNew DealPioneeringSelf ReliantThings I HateCourageous ManLeaving SchoolPioneering Spirit Author:Rose Wilder Lane
“As a working-class actor, leaving school with no qualifications, being a printer and then becoming an actor and then working with people who to a certain extent had had a leg up.

“The years between leaving school and actually becoming an adult are very important years. You make a lot of choices as to the type of life you want to lead and what type of person you want to be.

“Distinguish between the work and the job title. When I was leaving school in the early 1970s, many people wanted to be journalists, carrying out investigative reporting for print newspapers. Print newspapers may not exist in twenty years. But good thinking and good writing about issues that need to be reported and investigated will always be needed; but where this happens, what it is called, and who pays for it may be quite different than could have been envisioned by the great journalists of the past.” PeopleThinkingNeedsWritingYearsMayHas BeensDifferentHappensWantedSchoolJobsPastPayIssuesNeededTwentiesLeavingNewspapersJournalistTitlesPrintCould Have BeenGood WritingGood ThinkingJob TitlesLeaving School Author:Howard Gardner

“One of the most important things, especially when you're leaving school, is to realize you're going to be dealing with a lot of idiots.

“I suppose there is no place in the world where snobbery is quite so ever-present or where it is cultivated in such refined and subtle forms as in an English public school. Here at least one cannot say that English ‘education’ fails to do its job. You forget your Latin and Greek within a few months of leaving school — I studied Greek for eight or ten years, and now, at thirty-three, I cannot even repeat the Greek alphabet — but your snobbishness, unless you persistently root it out like the bindweed it is, sticks by you till your grave.” WorldYearsSchoolJobsFormThreeForgetFailingMonthsTenRootsSticksLeavingEightGravesGreekThirtyRepeatsSubtleLatinPublic SchoolRefinedPlaces In The WorldAlphabetSnobberySnobbishnessEnglish EducationLatin And GreekLeaving School Book:The Complete Works of George Orwell: The road to Wigan Pier Source: The Complete Works of George Orwell: The road to Wigan Pier
