The Virtue of Boredom


I'm sure I'm showing my age to say that I came up in the kind of educational setting where you sat still, you listened, and you took notes. Most students today won't listen, can't sit still, and have no idea how to take notes, but it's not their fault.

I was one of the lucky ones. I had a high school teacher who had both chalkboards (again, showing my age here) full when we walked into class. When everyone had finished copying all of the notes on the first board and moved to the second one, he erased the board and continued adding more notes. That's how I really learned to outline.
