Engineer Your Own Scrutiny

I am my worst critic; therefore, I believe in testing my ability to learn new things and perhaps even change based on that learning. I voluntarily explore the many facets of intellectual possibilities through change because knowledge is king. Our intelligence can limit mistakes and bad decisions.

I have learned that education is not the learning of facts but rather the act of teaching the brain how to think. So often, and involving so many, we tend to avoid thinking differently, and the reason for that is that our way of thinking is one of habit or exaggeration. It is about these recurrences we become comfortable, content, and spoiled. These characteristics define us, so we become ‘fixed’ in what complacency represents.

When I write a book, I detach myself from anything ordinary. It’s extraordinary that I tend to embrace it because the idea of mediocrity smothers me. To avoid this, find what moves you to change. Find what vastness held within the universe can offer you. Instead of waiting for the ax to fall, get busy moving enough to escape the world’s trappings as we see it now. Remember, the holes we dig only get deeper when we do nothing to get out!
