Every Man His Own University

Every Man His Own University

A distinct university walks about under each man's hat. The only man who achieves success in the other universities of the world, and in the larger university of life, is the man who has first taken his graduate course and his post-graduate course in the university under his hat. There observation furnishes a daily change in the curriculum. Books are not the original sources of power, but observation, which may bring to us all wide experience, deep thinking, fine feeling, and the power to act for oneself, is the very dynamo of power.

The language is not so easy to understand for me (luckily it’s a brief book - 46 pages) I get few revelations from reading it:- 1. Good food is important not just for my health but also my intellectual property, creativity and productivity. 2. Thoughtfulness is gained by the practice of gratitude over little things. 3. I can never feel adequate if I keep comparing myself to a stamp - system or standard. 4. It’s not how many books I read, but how deep the reading improve/affect my life. 5. University study is taught by specialists but this whole life is a bunch of many things
