Common Sense College

We all get impressed by Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard, to name a few prestigious universities, but what about the lowly, little-understood and yet so powerful “university of common sense?” I'm not saying that big schools are turning their nose at the great value common sense represents, but that the best education, in the most acclaimed schools in the world, is nothing without a strong dose of basic, common sense.

How can one get credit for that? By following the example of successful and content people and by learning to appreciate the basic things in life. Also, by remaining sanely skeptical, thinking critically, refusing to take the popular shortcuts on the path of life and appreciating the little things of daily life.

How long does it take to graduate from that school? A lifetime if you're patient and start early!
