What is worth the climb

 



Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.
 
~~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

What is the purpose?

"If we are afraid to reveal our lack of knowledge we will not be able to learn. In order to make progress we must admit where we are now. Such an admission is not easy. As Thoreau says, "How can we remember our ignorance which our growth requires, when we are using our knowledge all the time?"

Does thr present system of education encourage us to admit our lack of knowledge, or is there too much pressure to demonstrate the acquisition of knowledge? Plan your response, then write three powerful paragraphs.

Acting before thinking........

"A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he is not a man of action. It is as if a tennis player, before returning the ball, stopped to think about his views of the physical and mental advantages of tennis. You must act as you breathe."
-Georges Clemenceau

Is it true that acting quickly  and instinctively is the best response to a crisis? Or are there times when an urgent situation requires a more careful consideration and a slower response? Plan your response, and then write an essay. ( No less than two paragraphs)
