Hitting the Books...Again.

I tell all those kids out there that it's never too late to hit the books.

After a hard day lumberjacking, I sit down to read
and take notes from books on politics.


Handwriting analysis.

The book I'm currently working on is called, "Speaking Truth to Power: The Art and Craft of Policy Analysis" by Aaron Wildavsky. I go over it every year or so. Like all very good books, I get a different read from it because new experiences and perspectives gained help me draw new insights from the same text.

Writing out passages from the books I study, then boiling down the ideas into things I can easily remember is how I take in the information and make it knowledge for use in life. I laughed when I read this line from the book...

PEOPLE MAKE PROBLEMS.

Funny because it's true.
