Knowledge costs money and lack of knowledge costs more.

by Rick Baker

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

We must pay to learn.

We can buy knowledge contained in books.

We can buy knowledge contained in hard knocks. 

We must pay much for knowledge in order to have much.

If we do not pay much for knowledge, we pay even more.

Negative feelings by their very nature tend to alienate and isolate us. Then they go about wasting much of our energy.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Feelings are mind states where egos are at work justifying their appetites.

While the voices of ego are little, they are incessant. Barrages of little voices fight to serve and satisfy the huge appetites of egos. Egos, their appetites, and their little but incessant voices are not to be ignored.

Strategies for managing error-induced anxiety can lead to happier, more-productive lives.

by Rick Baker

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

When we make errors we feel at least a little anxiety.

Anxiety is a dangerous state of mind because it can lead to rumination, worry, and deep and dark fear.

Better to nip anxiety in the bud, before it has a chance to grow into a very bad habit.
