“Do not watch TV aimlessly. Do not go on social media aimlessly. Always be aware of what you are doing, and why you are doing it. Don’t value TV less. Value it more. Then you will watch it less. Unchecked distractions will lead you to distraction.”

“It's best for a fool to keep his mouth shut among other people. No one will know he knows nothing if he says nothing. An ignorant man does not know how little he knows no matter how much he talks.”
