“Don’t say that you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents”.

Another interesting quote

“Who exactly do you want to be? What kind of person do you want to be? What are your personal ideals? Whom do you admire? What are their special traits that would make your own? If you wish to be an extraordinary person, if you wish to be wise, then you should explicitly identify the kind of person you aspire to become”.

Wow, I’ll have that noted.
