Jewelcrest of Wisdom

Actual Text #1:

A steady intentness of the mind on its goal;--this is Restfulness.

Response #1:

To me, this quote meant that we all have goals that we set for ourselves but in order to attain them and full appreciate the achievement we must be able to be patience. We have to take a step back and rest/reflect on what we want. We are constantly working and busy with the events of every day life but our mind cannot full reach its goal without taking time to rest now and then.


Actual Text #2:

An honest confidence in the teaching and the Teacher;--this is that Faith by which the treasure is gained.

Response #2:

Transparency is key when teaching. If students can see that a professor is truthful in what they are trying to teach their students, then the class will have more faith in attain greater understanding of the course. Treasure is only gained when we have the ability to expand our minds pass the actual text we are reading. Confidence is learning more comes from an honest teacher and eager students in an open and effective learning atmosphere.
