School is a high probability tool for escaping poverty if applied with ambition and a plan to do so. It worked for me and 3 more of my 7 siblings.? I tried to screw it up but failed.?
School without a plan is often entertainment or confinement and succeeds in escaping poverty with much lower probability.?

The problem with trying to learn a skill just by reading is you don¡¯t know when you are creating bad habits and doing it wrong. That is where schools come in. Experienced people (hopefully) to guide us.?
I could have read calculus books until I went blind and never would have learned enough to pass Calculus 1 without help.?

Jonathan Livingston Seagull was my first Bach book, I think I was 10.? The Messiah book I was introduced to 10 years later was Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah. That¡¯s the one with him selling rides in a TravelAir. I have probably read it 10 times but don¡¯t recall the knife throwing line. I guess it¡¯s time to read it again.?

I can¡¯t remember!? I read all his books except for the one about seagulls. Something about a messiah as I recall might have been the one.? It was 35 years ago that I read it!
Which Bach book is that from?? I think I¡¯ve read them all but don¡¯t remember that line. It has been a while¡

I always fall back to Richard Bach. ?¡°Read a book.? Make a couple of practice throws.? Before long, you will be throwing knives like an expert.¡±h
That says it all. ?90% of everything I know is what I learned after I learned how to read.? Once learning to read was mastered, universities held me back.?

Karl, by coincidence?right now I'm reading a collection of Mark Twain's insights, my whole family are readers, past, present, it is sad that today few young people are readers.? Being elderly I can really relate to the world the way he seen it.? Farmer John?
