Today's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.
Attitude determines the altitude of life.
Anecdotal thinking comes naturally; science requires training.
Your attitude towards failure determines your altitude after failure.
A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated.
Nothing of any importance can be taught. It can only be learned, and with blood and sweat.
I promise my students that if they take the time to figure out their life purpose, they'll look back on it as the most important thing they discovered while at school. If they don't figure it out, they will just sail off without a rudder and get buffeted in the very rough seas of life.
As great scientists have said and as all children know, it is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception, and compassion, and hope.
I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.
Those who desire to rise as high as our human condition allows, must renounce intellectual pride, the omnipotence of clear thinking, belief in the absolute power of logic.
