More From William James

I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. they don't teach you how to love somebody. they don't teach you how to be famous. they don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. they don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. they don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. they don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. they don't teach you anything worth knowing.

I was never educated to be an actor. i went to a regular college. it was a great thing for me because i feel that the main thing to get out of college is a thirst for knowledge. college should teach you how to be curious. most people think that college is the end of education, but it isn't. the ceremony of giving you the diploma is called commencement. and that means you are fit to commence learning because you have learned hot to learn.

College radio is a very important medium that needs to survive in difficult economic times when some stations are being sold off and shut down. college radio is the future for broadcasting stars and pioneers of tomorrow, and we as a band, coldplay, support the vital mission of college radio and we also support college radio day, the day when college radio comes together.

He that resolves upon any great and good end, has, by that very resolution, scaled the chief barrier to it. he will find such resolution removing difficulties, searching out or making means, giving courage for despondency, and strength for weakness, and like the star to the wise men of old, ever guiding him nearer and nearer to perfection.

All of my life, i have been fascinated by the big questions that face us, and have tried to find scientific answers to them. if, like me, you have looked at the stars, and tried to make sense of what you see, you too have started to wonder what makes the universe exist.
