Deep Thinking requires a Disciplined Mind

A Teacher was teaching arithmetic to small children. She set a problem for them to solve. 'I have twelve sheep,' said she. 'Six of them jump the fence and run away. How many would be left?' Most of the boys answered, 'Six'. But a farmer's boy quietly said, 'None would be left.' When the teacher questioned him about it, the boy said: 'Ma'm, you may know arithmetic but I know the ways of sheep.'

Most people live instinctive, impulsive lives. Very few people really think and consciously guide their own lives.
