Hypothesis:
Just as spending 5 minutes trying to decipher a word puzzle or answer a math problem increases the amount of learning that occurs when you look up the answer in the back of the book, just as seeking out answers for your own emotional and spiritual dilemmas makes you more capable of handling future crises than
blindly following a charismatic leader's common sense suggestions, and just as learning how to cook and understanding the way nutrition works will make your body operate more effectively than if you march to the tune of the
primary colors announcing quick solutions to your primal urges, so will the information you read have more
stickiness if you are in active pursuit of it, if you obtain it from multiple sources, entertaining authors' ideas before accepting them, comparing and contrasting points of view and methods of research, keeping the blood flowing in your veins and your
brainwaves above the
alpha wavelengths by interacting with the information, writing responses to it, drawing a little
a man a plan a canal pamana picture that symbolically captures it's essense, using it to enhance your everyday life, doing something with it that involves
moving parts of the body besides the index finger.
