A Good Book Deserves An Active Reading. The Activity Of Reading Does Not Stop With The Work Of Understanding What A Book Says. It Must Be Completed By The Work Of Criticism, The Work Of Judging. The Undemanding Reader Fails To Satisfy This Requirement, Probably Even More Than He Fails To Analyze And Interpret. He Not Only Makes No Effort To Understand; He Also Dismisses A Book Simply By Putting It Aside And Forgetting It. Worse Than Faintly Praising It, He Damns It By Giving It No Critical Consideration Whatever.

In Aristotelian Terms, The Good Leader Must Have Ethos, Pathos And Logos. The Ethos Is His Moral Character, The Source Of His Ability To Persuade. The Pathos Is His Ability To Touch Feelings To Move People Emotionally. The Logos Is His Ability To Give Solid Reasons For An Action, To Move People Intellectually.

The Purpose Of Learning Is Growth, And Our Minds, Unlike Our Bodies, Can Continue Growing As We Continue To Live.

Habits Are Formed By The Repetition Of Particular Acts. They Are Strengthened By An Increase In The Number Of Repeated Acts. Habits Are Also Weakened Or Broken, And Contrary Habits Are Formed By The Repetition Of Contrary Acts.
