THOUGHTS ON THE ART OF GROWING

AND HENRY'S THOUGHTS ON

THE MATTER OF GROWING 

----

One of the best periods of our life to 

take stock of our personal characteristics

and to make plans for development

is during our early years in college.

---

Our chief question should not be how high

an I. Q. do we have, but 

how effectively 

do we use our intellectual abilities.

Reading habits and skills are

tremendously important to 

growing intellectually.

The negative emotion habits

are unchecked fear

and unchecked anger.

Music is written to appeal 

to emotions, and to make us

feel various moods.

A common difficulty with 

those who do not mingle easily

with other people is that they 

have never gained real interest

in other people.

   A good student is not interested

so much in a high grade , but keeps on

reading and taking advantage of every

opportunity to increase his or her knowledge.  

Henry's Thought: 

The chief purpose of mathematics is to increase one's reasoning ability; a language is to increase his memorizing ability; and science is to increase his appreciation for life.

     

Addendum by June Estelle Cash, 2014

It is not so much whether one is in college or not, that one 

chooses to learn.   At 81, I am still learning.  For you

who are still in your twenty somethings age bracket,

I encourage you to THINK, and reflect, on

Wm. Henry Cash's thoughts.
