Ideas

Welcome to a diary I began in 1983.  This diary is actually the first of three topical notebooks I wrote in the 1980s and 1990s, aimed at improving my skills and honing my spirit.  In celebration of the new millennium and the fact that these three journals were successfully applied and closed, I'm releasing them onto the Web in daily increments.  Each day for which there is an entry, I will make that entry available exactly 20 years after it was written.

The context of the Ideas Journal is that of studying and completing homework assignments in high school and college.  The goal was to learn the most possible--and therefore, hopefully, earn the highest grade possible--in all subjects, with sincere effort and high efficiency.  Be aware, however, that the emphasis, though explicitly academic, was not so much on mere scholarship as it was on becoming a worthwhile and genuine human being.
