How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Children learn what they live.
The young are adept at learning, but even more adept at avoiding it.
But, if you observe children learning in their first few years of life, you can see that they can and do learn on their own - we leave them alone to crawl, walk, talk, and gain control over their bodies. It happens without much help from parents.
A strenuous effort must be made to train young people to think for themselves and take independent charge of their lives.
Youth is that period when a young boy knows everything but how to make a living.
It was helpful to have the confidence of youth that came from a lack of desperation. I thought, 'If I don't succeed, I'll go back to school and study.'
Imagine trying to learn without a dry place to sleep, eat, and do homework. Children cannot succeed in school if their lives out of school are in total chaos.
Teenagers come to things fresh and can really teach us an awful lot.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Young people have a marvelous faculty of either dying or adapting themselves to circumstances.
