Thomas H. Huxley. "Try to learn something about everything and everything about something." [Quotes of the Day]

A few minutes surfing the net make this a very simple process.  It is truly amazing how much information is out there just waiting to be found. 

Strolling through the local library is a great way to find books on just about everything.  It is great since you can pick out books you would never think to purchase and browse through them.  Don't like the subject?  Return the book.  Like the subject?  Buy the book or find others on the subject.  Library doesn't have the book?  Request it from another one to be sent to your library. 

It truly amazes me how many services the local library provides.  Our family makes a trip to the library a weekly thing.  My 4 year old just about wets his pants to go get more books.  It is pretty funny, he likes a particular series on Trucks and I swear every time we go he gets some of the same books that he just returned.  I think he has checked out every book in the series at least 4 times.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh. "A simple enough pleasure, surely, to have breakfast alone with one's husband, but how seldom married people in the midst of life achieve it." [Motivational Quotes of the Day]

Seneca. "He who boasts of his ancestry is praising the deeds of another." [Motivational Quotes of the Day]

Mortimer Adler. "You have to allow a certain amount of time in which you are doing nothing in order to have things occur to you, to let your mind think." [Motivational Quotes of the Day]

I think this is so true.  In today's 24/7 culture it is so easy to just consume and consume and never let what you read and experience soak in.  Mental bootstraping needs time to gel.
