In some things, despite loving the progress The
Light Code Review that technology has endowed me with, I am still very much 'old school'. It is not, because I am against the fast pace of any technology. It is simply, because I enjoy some of these 'old ways'. I see the merit in traditional ways and, I know it keeps my mind fully trained, to see past the fluff of technology.
As an example, there is very little TV that can compare to the value of reading good books. They stretch one's mind, they enable us to express ourselves better through language, they entice our imagination and they keep our brains as fit, if not fitter, than our bodies.
So, when I teach my students, (and I do realize the challenges they face) within my sessions with them, it gives me the opportunity to let them relax their overloaded sensory brain by doing simple exercises of Mind. Principles that allow the mind to enjoy itself!
I know for a fact that, their progress in life depends on their thoughts and, on the quality of their thinking. Mark Twain said, "The person who won't read is no better than the one who can't". This is powerful and very meaningful.
