More From Bruce Jenner

There are things that i really find important, and that we need to remind ourselves of. when you think about disability, do you really think about it? someone who's a full-time trainer or a boxer, someone who's got a major disability, but who doesn't let that get in his way, that's a really good message for someone who is able-bodied. it can make them think, 'wow, i suppose i could be doing better for myself.'
Thinking Important Disability
It seems to me that people who don’t learn as easily as others suffer from a kind of learning disability—there is something different about the way they comprehend unfamiliar material—but i fail to see how this disability is improved by psychiatric consultation. what seems to be lacking is a technical ability that those of us called ‘good students’ are born with. someone should concretely study these skills and teach them. what does a shrink have to do with the process?
Skills People Suffering
Every person with a disability has a slightly different kind of disability. not everybody has the same problems. usually the wheelchairs are the wheelchairs. it's the same height and so on. it's a problem.
Different Height Disability
I just remember when my first child was born i called the personnel office and i asked them about their leave policies. and they said, "leave policies? women just leave and they don't come back." and i said, "but i want to come back." they said, "we have no leave policy." and then they said, "why don't you apply for disability?" well, having a child is not a disability.
Children Office Disability
Knowledge about yourself binds, weighs, ties you down; there is no freedom to move, and you act and move within the limits of thatknowledge. learning about yourself is never the same as accumulating knowledge about yourself. learning is active present and knowledge is the past; if you are learning to accumulate, it ceases to be learning; knowledge is static, more can be added to it or taken away from it, but learning is active, nothing can be added or taken away from it for there is no accumulation at any time.
Moving Taken Learning
I imagine a school system that recognizes learning is natural, that a love of learning is normal, and that real learning is passionate learning. a school curriculum that values questions above answers...creativity above fact regurgitation...individuality above conformity.. and excellence above standardized performance..... and we must reject all notions of 'reform' that serve up more of the same: more testing, more 'standards', more uniformity, more conformity, more bureaucracy.

I love when i go out and i have my hair and makeup done, but i also like it when i'm just with the family because that's real.

Women have been driven mad, “gaslighted”, for centuries by the refutation of our experience and our instincts in a culture which validates only male experience. the truth of our bodies and our minds has been mystified to us. we therefore have primary obligation to each other: not to undermine each other’s sense of reality for the sake of expediency; not to gaslight each other.
Reality Mad Mind
There used to be this real sense of community integrity in rock. it has really eroded. everyone seems to be on their own now.
Integrity Real Rocks
Your nervous system cannot tell the difference between an imagined experience and a 'real' experience. in either case, it reacts automatically to information which you give to it from your forebrain. your nervous system reacts appropriately to what you think or imagine to be 'true.
