“Well, I am a great believer in supercompensation. Short term overtraining leads to long-term success. I can hear the complaints about injuries, but, in truth, not too many of us suffer injuries that lead to surgery, according to those studies in the 1950′s. In fact, if you are not a druggie and have some common sense, I think you can afford to train harder than you think.” IfsThinkingWellsLongI CanFactsSufferingTermCommonStudyHarderTrainBelieverCommon SenseLong TermInjurySurgeryComplaintsWorkoutShort TermMotivational WorkoutLong Term SuccessDruggies Author:Dan John

“Studying music encourages self-discipline and diligence, traits that carry over into intellectual pursuits and that lead to effective study and work habits. An association of music and math has, in fact, long been noted. Creating and performing music promotes self-expression and provides self-gratification while giving pleasure to others. In medicine, increasing published reports demonstrate that music has a healing effect on patients. For all these reasons, it deserves strong support in our educational system, along with the other arts, the sciences, and athletics.” GivingLongArtSelfReasonFactsStrongPleasureHealingSupportStudyEffectsExpressionHabitDisciplineCreatingIntellectualDeserveMedicinePatientEducationalMathPursuitPerformingReportsAssociationTraitsSelf DisciplineGratificationDiligenceAthleticsSelf ExpressionEducational SystemWork HabitsSelf GratificationMath And MusicPerforming MusicStudy And WorkStudying Music Author:Michael E.

“We can no longer communicate with the apes by direct language, nor can we understand, without special study, their modes of communication which we have long since replaced by more elaborate forms. But it is at least presumable that they could still detect in our speech, at least when it is public and elaborate, the underlying tone values with which it began. Thus if we could take a gibbon ape to a college public lecture, he would not understand it, but he would "get a good deal of it." This is all the students get anyway.” IfsLongStillsFormValuesLanguageDealsStudySpecialStudentsCollegeCommunicationSpeechDirectCommunicateToneReplacedLecturesApes Book:Leacock on Life Source: Leacock on Life
“To view an object in the proper light we must stand away from it. The study of the classical literatures gives the aloofness which cultivates insight. In learning to live with peoples and civilizations that have long ceased to be alive, we gain a vantage point, acquire an enlargement and elevation of thought, which enable us to study with a more impartial and liberal mind the condition of the society around us.” GivingMindLongLightLiteratureViewsStudyAliveConditionsObjectsCivilizationGainsInsightAcquireElevationVantage PointEnlargementAloofnessClassical Literature Book:Aphorisms and Reflections: Conduct, Culture and Religion Source: Aphorisms and Reflections: Conduct, Culture and Religion
