Education Is Not the Learning of Facts, But the Training of the Mind To Think

ABOUT college education. Albert Einstein remarked: “It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.”

Every habit you possess is an asset you own — it’ll give you lifelong returns in terms of your health, productivity, and/or time.

“Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. The same way money multiplies through compound interest, the effects of your habits multiply as you repeat them. “— James Clear

And as you stack more habits, the benefits don’t grow linearly but exponentially. This is thanks to compounding and synergy.

The latter is especially powerful — the more related habits you build, the better their individual benefits jive, and the stronger the cumulative effect.

So build your habit stack, one at a time.
