Jim Rohn once said: Don't wish it was easier wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenge wish for more wisdom

i keep seeing this making the rounds for some reason, as if these people don't already have artificial machines in their homes that wash their clothes and dishes for them and what do they do with all that newfound free time? go online to complain about technology not washing their clothes and dishes for them

"resistance is futile" is what the villains say resist. resist temptation and laziness. oppression and coercion. distraction and procrastination. resist negativity, pessimism, and cynicism. resist society's insistince that you comply, imitate, and fall in line. resist the incessant pull downwards toward mediocrity and silence, and remember that optimism is a form of defiance. resist. resistance is vital. compliance is futile.

here's my take on teaching/educating: your job as a teacher is not to teach subject matter. the subject matter is all in the textbook, just give them the textbook. lesson plans are just rehashing the textbook, which students have to read for homework anyway. your job is to 1.) introduce different ways of thinking and looking at things, to unlock some intuition and get things to "click" and 2.) bring a level of enthusiasm to the subject and convey why it's interesting in non-obvious ways and worthwhile to learn
