老张做笔记——DAY13

2017年2月12日，希望能够每天通过输出一些当天阅读、总结的东西，包括中文的、英文的、整段文字、一个句子、一个句型、甚至是一个作文题目的提纲、一个透彻的论证思路等等。希望能与大家一起交流、共同成长，如果成长做不到最起码希望能够督促自己每天主动去阅读且输出。如果自己能够再幸运一点的话，希望得到前辈的指点（真心求拍砖！）。祝愿社交化的学习能让我们彼此成长，长成我们期待的样子。

DAY13

A college education isn't worth what you pay for it. Some people never reach a salary level appreciably higher than the level they would have reached without the degree.

It is also a misconception that critical thinking is synonymous with having a lot of right answers in one's head.

This is not to say that all people have equal thinking potential but rather that everyone can achieve dramatic improvement.

Another is control of one's mental activities.

trifling with mental pictures, random recollections, pleasant but unfounded hopes, flitting, half-developed impressions
