In the book
You learn dancing by dancing and the lute by playing the lute; the same is true of thinking and of living, where every experience can be a lesson if you let it. Children, in fact, are the world's great natural learners — fascinated, experimental, endlessly curious — and the tragedy of much schooling is that it trains the why out of them, dangling grades and if-then rewards until they no longer know why they are doing what they do. So protect your curiosity; approach the new with questions and let wonder pull you forward. — Expanding Your Range (Growth/Change/Education/Learning/Habit)
