“A man’s values are the product of the thinking he has done or has failed to do. Values can be a manifestation of rationality and mental health or of irrationality and neurosis.
They can grow out of self-confidence and benevolence or out of self-doubt and fear. They can be motivated by the desire to achieve happiness or by the desire to minimize pain. They can be acquired independently and by deliberation or they can be uncritically absorbed from others.

Mało rzeczy tak mnie wkurza, jak brak szacunku do nauczycieli, którzy za śmieciowe, niegodne wręcz pieniądze, najczęściej napędzani poczuciem misji, chcą coś zmienić na tym świecie i czegoś kogoś nauczyć.
