DEAR MAXIM, THE ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM WHICH YOU HAVE CHOSEN IS ADMIRABLE. I HOPE YOU HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE COMMENTS I HAD MADE AT VARIOUS WRITERS' SUBTACKS. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY ADMIRATION AND APPRECIATION FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING SEVERAL TIMES.
I ESPECIALLY WANT TO EXPRESS THAT YOU ARE FOLLOWING WALTER HAANEL'S "MASTER KEY" TO SUCCESS. THAT IS, YOU ARE BEING OF SERVICE TO YOUR FELLOW MAN, OF ALL OF AGES AND BACKGROUNDS, BY WRITING AND SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCES THROUGH YOUR WEEKLY PROGRESS REPORTS. I HAVE BEEN PROMISING TO MAKE COMMENTS TO YOUR WRITING WHEN I FELT THEY WOULD BE HELPFUL. FINALLY TODAY, I AM TAKING THE TIME TO COMMENT.
FIRST. ON THE JOY OF LEARNING EXPERIENCE BY LITTLE CHILDREN. YOUR OBSERVATION IS ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON. IN FACT, IT IS BIBLICAL. (I AM NOT A BIBLE THUMPER. BUT, THERE IS GREAT WISDOM IN THE BIBLE. AND LIKE DOUG, I HEARD QUOTATIONS FROM THE BIBLE REPEATEDLY IN CATHOLIC SCHOOL FOR MANY YEARS. THUS, WISDOM FROM THE BIBLE QUITE OFTEN OCCURS TO ME IN CONTEXT. IN THIS MOMENT, PARAPHRASING, "UNLESS YE COME TO ME AS LITTLE CHILDREN, YE SHALL NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.")
YEARS AGO, IN A SMALL BAR NEAR MACON, GEORGIA, I HAD A WONDERFUL CONVERSATION WITH A LOCAL COURT CLERK OF MONROE COUNTY. HE OBSERVED TO ME THAT "YOU CANNOT TEACH SOMEONE WHAT HE THINKS HE ALREADY KNOWS."
ANOTHER VERBALIZATION OF THIS SAME IDEA IS IN THE OLD JOKE ABOUT THE YOUNG MAN WHO HAD JUST RETURNED FROM A COUPLE OF YEARS SERVICE IN THE ARMY. HE OBSERVED TO A FRIEND, "IT'S AMAZING HOW MUCH THE OLD MAN HAS LEARNED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS."
YOU HAVE SAID MUCH MORE THAT DESERVE COMMENT. HOWEVER, MY TIME IS VERY LIMITED, AS BLINDNESS SLOWS ME DOWN TO PROBABLY LESS THAN ONE TENTH YOUR SPEED. BEST WISHES FOR YOUR CONTINUED PROGRESS AND FOR YOUR SERVICE TO YOUR FELLOW MAN.
It seems simpler..........it isn't necessary to think about being a "fool". Whether you think you should know but don't, is mis-guided. The importance is you realize you don't know and want to learn. If you want to learn, then spending any time thinking about how you look is wasted. Everybody has to learn and knowing what you don't know is important, but - more critical is understanding you have no idea of what you don't know. Hence, the need to always be learning.
You are already A Great Man, having conquered so much at such a young age........be very proud of yourself. Keep making good decisions. Many Blessings!
PLEASE FORGIVE CAPS--ALMOST BLIND

I am not a fool, but I play one on tv.
