However, this proverb cautions us to hold back and not vent all our feelings immediately. Perhaps restraint is good to allow us to consider what we would say, and perhaps in hesitating it will allow time for our feelings to change. If we continually vent our feelings and our feelings change, we become known as being double minded. Our words will carry little weight. We are seen as weak. Those around... Full story

But those paying attention to their surrounding... Full story

I have probably become more liberal and more argumentative through my small exposure to college life. I have learned a number of things from thermodynamics to multi-dimensional optimization. The academic things I have learned have been great, but the best thing I have come to learn has nothing to do with textbooks and lectures. By...
