The Tough Mind
October 5th, 2007
The tough mind is sharp and penetrating, breaking through the crust of legends and myths and sifting the true from the false.
Who doubts that this toughness of mind is one of man’s greatest needs? Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.
