In this book we will look at school days and the life that comes after them. I would like to sharpen your vision for the things that matter in life, so you can read the off-ramps and the on-ramps, the service stations and the construction sites for what they are. I would like to see you soar like an eagle, and for you to plan your route along life’s highway, seen from now to the end.

I will try to help you with a survey of life: your life. From that survey of the whole territory, the eagle identifies what is of interest – and then pursues just that, with success. The eagle looks down on its vast territories from a great height, and it runs little risk of getting lost in the morass of distracting details. But school is the first step you need, and the starting point for what is to follow. You often pick up along the way the knowledge and attitudes you will need for a happy and fulfilled life. I would claim you start the education you need for life … only after you have left school. And education does not end on the day you leave school it continues until the day you die. It is there to give you your sense of direction in life. Still, it is part of the overall picture, and worth learning in outline in that context.Įducation is fundamental. You are right: one subject or another will be irrelevant in your later life. School is a foundation on which you can build your own life. School is a precondition for your education. The professor needs to know someone who knows where to look it up. The assistant needs to know where to look it up. Your boss, coworkers and colleagues, and hierarchiesīringing up and connecting with your children It ain’t what you say, it’s the way that you say it! CHAPTER – What is Most Important in Life?
