Serious Learning vs Casual Learning

"There is a great deal more effort involved in serious learning than in casual learning.  In everything you do, be it self-observation, reading or observing others, the intensity of your efforts will have a profound effect on the amount of knowledge you gain."

-- Jim Rohn


"Aiming thus at something else, they find happiness by the way."

-- John Stuart Mill


"If we fail to nourish our souls, they wither, and without soul, life ceases to have meaning.... The creative process shrivels in the absence of continual dialogue with the soul. And creativity is what makes life worth living."

-- Marion Woodman
