What Do You Feed Your Mind?

"The mind grows by what it feeds on."
J. G. Holland

On what do you feed your mind?

One of my major concerns today is that a lot of people feed their mind with television. We increasingly judge our success and personal worth by television stories - stories of the rich and famous, those who have beauty and the perfect body, those who do little work and still succeed. Yet, this is not reality.

You can lose your job, you can lose material items, but you can never lose your knowledge. The money we invest in ourselves to further increase our knowledge is truly an investment in our future.

How many self improvement books have you read over the last year? How many educational programs have you listened to that have helped you learn something new?

What have you fed your mind in the last month?
