Get a belief system
In a letter to his son Eduard, Albert Einstein wrote about youth. "When you're young, you tend to mentally oppose the world," he wrote. "You measure your strength on everything and go back and forth the between hesitation and confidence." But I think at the end of it all we all definitely have a crystallized belief. Your thinking has a lot to do with the way you believe. I remember back in high school the way we're taught to write at school is largely pretty tough. In everything but English they teach us to write in the passive voice, and then when it does come to English they teach us all manner of irrelevant and frankly incorrect nonsense like "never start a sentence with a conjunction" (for which there is no good reason not to, and if it was good enough for Shakespeare, then it's good enough for me). I think writing is more of whether or not it communicates the message clearly, unambiguously and in language the reader is going to understand(forgive me,but that's what I believe). You see as you grow in this info era- where information are continuously dumped on you willy-nilly- you must develop your belief system. You need to define your truth and live by it. Belief system has to be that belief you believe,you don't have to prove it to anyone else,or even show it. It don't matter what anyone thinks about it. Every man that have handle life definitely have a belief system. Know your truth and abide by it. See if they are correct,and if not change and correct them because you think they are not. It is what you believe that determines your position. Don't be a slave to another man's belief. Zeitgeist are someone's opinion dumped on all. I regard the Pygmalion effect so much- what you believe is the truth. As you create your belief system I advise you don't gets them crystallized,rigid. To get the best of life you need to keep options for new beliefs. What do you believe?What are your convictions?
