Society
As we grow up we discover society to be made out of people rather than out of organizations and roles. When you realize this it becomes easier to get what you want done.

Questions
You asked a question you wanted a particular response to, then before the person can reply, ask an additional question that has an obvious answer being the same answer you were wanting for the first question.
Second Chances
I always seem to blow my second chances. Third chances I really take advantage of though.
Routine
Time seems to move faster when you have a routine. So make a routine for things you don't enjoy and do the things you enjoy spontaneously.
Big Picture
Big picture ideas are more valuable to society than smaller ones but don't necessarily require more thought power or creativity. I think theoretical physicists take this too far.
Talking
Most of the time I would rather say something that is interesting than something that is true.
Voting Age
One of the reasons that schools were created was to promote democracy and nationalism. If that is the case why is it that the age we act out our most important democratic task, voting, the year after most students have graduated. I think that general voting turnout and consequently political activism would increase if the voting age was lowered to 17.
Speed Reading
Do people read faster with both eyes than with one? It seems like it would be around the same speed. If so I would think that there could be a more efficient method of written communication that requires the use of both eyes more comprehensively.
Learning
I read a while ago that a definition of learning as being able to answer questions to increasingly difficult questions.
