Comments:
• Thinking people apply their knowledge to new situations unrelated to the original situation.
•To move from a single good idea to its completion surround it with compatible ideas, and umbrella it with good ideals.
• Complexity results from keeping ideas in your head. Create systems to help you express your thoughts. Holding ideas takes energy – write them down.

Advice: A teacher must know the level of each student in order to challenge each with those things just outside his or her current level of understanding. But it is the responsibility of the student to commit themselves to strive for that understanding. If the challenge motivates them, they will give it some thought.
