Ultimately it is what we learn, more than how, that helps determine the shape of our lives and even the kind of people we become. For this reason, how we use our minds remains a personal choice we have to make. After all, what our brains help give us, more than anything else, is our own uniqueness and the myriad tastes and talents that emerge from it. What we do with them, and how, is part of the adventure of becoming ourselves -- a unique, personal process that we cannot shortcut, nor try to bend to the expectations of others.
Quite simply, no one way of thinking or learning is superior to another. Just as there is no single definition of the life well lived, there cannot be one of the mind well used. As Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman put it: "You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be: it's their mistake, not my failing."
