"Learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control
over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough
to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning
from experience. Because if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life,
you will be totally hosed. Think of the old cliché about quote the mind being
an excellent servant but a terrible master."
