7 deep messages about life and psychology.
Here are the 7 deep messages about life and psychology that I have compiled:
1. Interdependence: Life doesn’t make any sense without interdependence. We need each other, and the sooner we learn that, the better for us all .
2. Mindfulness: Once you start making the effort to ‘wake yourself up’—that is, be more mindful in your activities—you suddenly start appreciating life a lot more .
3. Knowledge: We are what we are because we have been what we have been, and what is needed for solving the problems of human life and motives is not moral estimates but more knowledge .
4. Creativity: If you want to be creative, stay in part a child, with the creativity and invention that characterizes children before they are deformed by adult society .
5. Self-actualization: If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you’ll be unhappy for the rest of your life .
6. Freedom: Everything can be taken from a man, but the last of the human freedoms: to choose one’s attitudes in any given set of circumstances .
7. Reading: We shouldn’t teach great books; we should teach a love of reading. Knowing the contents of a few works of literature is a trivial achievement. Being inclined to go on reading is a great achievement .
I hope you find these messages insightful and thought-provoking!
