everyday. I use it for everything . . . . [S]chool or like
if somebody is talking about something and you have

47. We have to work
as a faculty to
create novel

of learning, over and beyond
the pleasure it may give, is
that it should serve us in the
future.... In essence, it
consists in learning initially
not a skill but a general idea
which can then be used as a
basis for recognizing
subsequent problems....
