I never got a formal education. So my intellect is my common sense. I don't have anything else going for me. And my common sense opens the door to instinct.

Learning how to learn is life's most important skill.

I think one of the greatest skills a person can have is to complete a task they start. To take something from beginning, to middle, to end. In life, if you have that skill, I think you can go very far.

Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.

Common sense is the genius of humanity.

Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.

I have confidence in people's basic common sense.

I learned life from some good teachers.

My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense.

Observe, record, tabulate, communicate. Use your five senses. Learn to see, learn to hear, learn to feel, learn to smell, and know that by practice alone you can become expert.
