What is Your Plan?

A person has until they are in their mid 30’s to figure out how to think critically, to embrace science, design, and philosophy, through the connection between our hands and our mind.This occurs easier with proper mentorship and direction.

If by a person’s later 30’s, this foundation is not established, the possibility becomes more difficult. There becomes too much competition for our time, not allowing us the time to learn and grow, resulting in inconsistencies and holes in our belief systems.

Learning something new requires going into “chaos,” not a comfortable feeling as we age, given our ability to control our environment. From this point on, it is just revisiting the non-scientific ideas learned in ones earlier life, which results in a person in their later life only being a worn-out version of who they were in their mid 30's…but now they are angry and blame the youth…which is really blaming themselves, as they can see in the youth who they were.

Establishing a good science background early rather than later will give one a foundation of thought that can then be built on for a lifetime, which can augment the hands-on experience in a way that might be difficult to see.

The good thing about not knowing as time progresses is that you will not know that you don't know, and then it will not make any difference. What we often make important might well be unimportant. And then you will be just like everyone else, all struggling for the same trick in life to survive…when it was all there to start with…science.

The good thing is, with a plan, continuing to make the hand to mind connection, including science, design and philosophy, an individual's mid 30's can be the start of a life of education, which then results in a very unique person in their later life…a great thinker…who is not angry, but pleased with what life has resulted in, due to thoughtful hard work.
