Learn to think critically and skeptically, then make your own decisions rather than accepting the propaganda of others.
Men become civilized, not in proportion to their willingness to believe, but in their readiness to doubt.
~ H. L. Mencken
Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.
~ George Bernard Shaw
There is no slavery but ignorance. Liberty is the child of intelligence.
~ Robert G. Ingersoll
Education’s purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
~ Malcolm S. Forbes
To every complex question there is a simple answer and it is wrong…
~ H.L. Mencken
Either you think, or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you.
~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.
~ Oscar Wilde
"Please give us a simple answer, so that we don't have to think, because if we think, we might find answers that don't fit the way we want the world to be."
~ Terry Pratchett in Nation
An old thread I missed.
Here's one:
Don't watch an entire session of a tv show in one sitting. Always weigh and re-weigh your priorities. It's better to catch up one night at a time because if you push-off priorities too long they'll come back to haunt you like sloppy coding.
Don't try to please everybody because the more you please them the more they will depend on you and one can't always move on in life when their past keeps on coming back to haunt them - especially in coding.
“Sometimes it pays to stay in bed in Monday, rather than spending the rest of the week debugging Monday's code" - Esp when you are useless in the world fit for nothing.

Sometimes it pays to stay in bed on Sunday so you are fit for the world on Monday.
