If you ask and answer them, they will come to your aid in solving every problem and become the background of your clearest and most effective thinking.
The ABC’s of Education:
A. DO I REALLY WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT POLITICS, BUSINESS, SCIENCE, RELIGION, MORALS, AND LIFE; OR DO I MERELY WANT TO PROVE THAT THE NOTIONS I ALREADY HAVE ABOUT THESE THINGS ARE CORRECT?
B. AM I WILLING TO LAY ASIDE THE CONVICTIONS OF A LIFE TIME AND ALL THE TRADITIONS AND BELIEFS OF HISTORY, AND ALL THE CUSTOMS OF MY SOCIAL CLASS WHEN I COME INTO THE PRESENCE OF A NEW FACT, LONG ENOUGH TO FIND OUT WHETHER OR NOT THIS NEW FACT OUGHT TO CHANGE MY POINT OF VIEW?
C. HAVE I EVER, WITHOUT MENTAL RESERVATION, PREJUDICE, BIAS, SET NOTIONS AND DOGMAS, SURRENDERED MY HEART AND MIND COMPLETELY TO THE EXAMINATION OF THE REASONS FOR MY MOST CHERISHED OPINIONS; THAT IS, HAVE I SURRENDERED MY HEART AND MIND COMPLETELY TO AN ACCEPTANCE OF THE TRUTH, WHEREVER IT LEADS ME?
You don’t need a teacher to learn about everything. Great people of the past were self-educated.This website makes it easy for you by linking you directly to the information on each lesson.

What is the Internet?
The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. The Internet is the TCP/IP protocol, is considered to be the structural backbone of the Internet. However, they may not have been the sole creator of the Internet, the government envisioned a World Wide Web as early as the 1940s and went on to develop the Pentagon’s Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET). ARPANET is ultimately the private enterprise that made the connections to create the Internet we have today.
The Internet is a system of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array technology. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services.
`While many helped with the creation of the Internet one deserves acknowledgement, Alan Turing. Turing published a paper in 1936 that is now recognized as the foundation of computer science. During his lifetime Turing analyzed what is meant for humans to follow, a definite method or procedure to perform a task. In doing so he invented the idea of a “Universal Machine” that could decode and perform any set of instructions. 10 years later he would turn this revolutionary idea into a practical plan for an electronic computer capable of running any program. Although Turning’s work was essential to the modern-day Internet it was Sir Tim Berners-Lee who invented the Web in 1989 while working at CERN and subsequently worked to ensure it was made freely available to all. Sir Tim Berners-Lee is a scientist and academic whose visionary and innovative work has transformed almost every aspect of our lives.
Essentially the Internet is a wire that is buried in the ground, not a cloud like some would suggest. This wire is what connects users like you and I, providers, and servers together.

What is an essay?
An essay is a piece of writing that gives the author’s own argument. Essays have been sub-classified as formal and informal. Formal essays are characterized by serious purpose, dignity, logical organization, and length. Informal essays, however, are characterized by the personal element such as humor, graceful style, rambling structure, unconventionality or novelty of theme, etc. Essays are commonly used as literary criticism, political manifestos, learned arguments, observations of daily life, recollections, and reflections of the author.
Essays have become a major part of formal education. Admission essays are often used by universities in selecting applicants, and in the humanities and social sciences essays are often used as a way of assessing the performance of students during final exams. Essays are used to judge the mastery and comprehension of the material. Students are asked to explain, comment on, or assess a topic of study in the form of an essay. Academic essays are also more commonly called papers.
When writing an essay, it must be determined what will be written about. The main subject of an essay should always be well-defined. The writer should not make the judges guess what the topic is. The topic needs to be interesting enough to make the reader want to continue reading. Once the topic is chosen, creating an organized map to guide the writing process and organize your thoughts is the next step. Next it is time to create a thesis. This part of the essay should let the reader know what the thesis is meant to accomplish whether it is to convince or inform the reader about the subject. The writer needs to make a claim that others may dispute. Then claim must be backed with supporting evidence.
Once the topic has been chosen and the thesis clearly stated the writer will then come up with a catchy introduction. The goal of the introduction should be to grab the attention of the reader. The essay now goes into what is known as the body, which is the part of the essay where the writer provides statements, facts, proof or a logical discussion that supports the thesis. The reader should be left with a feeling that he or she understands the writer’s perspective, even if the reader disagrees. The body should contain three to five paragraphs of clearly written information that explains in detail what the writer wishes to convey. All facts should be proven through valid, respected references.
Once the writer has conveyed their thoughts on the subject they should then make sure all the key points of the essay are summarized. The writer should not just repeat what the body paragraphs say rather finish those thoughts with clear explanations. Every piece of writing that requires a well thought argument, persuasion or conveys information must be thorough, logical and concise.
Finally, to create a well written essay the writer must become familiar with the basic punctuation marks in the English language. This helps the writer to better express opinions and theories in their writing. Punctuation marks will also make your sentences clearer and more understandable to the reader.
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO WRITE AN ESSAY BY DR. DOUG HULLANDER:
As all students in this program know, in order to earn credit, one must submit an essay on each topic covered. The objective is to affirm in your mind that you have mastered the facts and concepts.
3. SPECIAL TOPICS… WHAT IS SUCCESS?…We often think of being a success in status and financial terms…
Since you are doing this Course of Study in order to be successful, we need to examine what success is… Since everything begins with just an idea, you might say that success is the ability to convert an idea from the abstract to the concrete. Success could be the ability to satisfy your innate desires and reach your objectives while staying within the boundaries of the society in which you live.

c.Napoleon Hill – Think And Grow Rich – Full Length … – YouTube
e. Example essay:
WHAT IS SUCCESS?
What is success? Success is the desired result of an attempt; but success is more often than not associated with achieving the goal at which someone has set out to accomplish. So if someone specifically sets out to become a doctor, and ends up practicing medicine for a living…. that to me is success. Now, the official meaning for “success” is the achievement of wealth, respect, or fame.
Sure people attribute success to someone who never has to worry about money. But in truth, at least in my opinion, money doesn’t make happiness. So, maybe we should stop looking at success as a measure of how much money someone has acquired through life. Instead start looking at success as a measure of how good a person is.
We don’t ever hear people talking about some average Joe being successful because he managed to graduate high school, college, went on to have a 9-5 job, provided for his family, and bought a house. To me, this is the most successful someone can be.
Sure there are many out in the world that don’t have to want for anything or have never had to struggle. But here is my question. SHOULD SOMEONE BE CONSIDERED TO BE SUCCESSFUL SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LOT OF MONEY, RESPECT, OR FAME? The ones who have money because their parents had success and they only have money because of their family, or the ones who have respect because they were born to it such as the queen of England. Perhaps the ones who have fame due the fact that their parents were able to use their own influence to gain their children’s fame for them. I do not think that people who were handed their fame and fortune on a silver platter should be considered to be successful.
You could also say that success is being able to reach all your objectives, to satisfy your innate desires, and to stay within the boundaries of the society in which you live.

e. Example essay:
SECRETS OF STONEHENGE
Stonehenge was built between 3100 BCE and 1550 BCE about 8 miles from Salisbury, England. It was thought to have been built by ancient Neolithic men. Some people think that it was built as an astronomical clock to predict eclipses and tell when the summer and winter solstices and the spring and fall equinoxes occurred.
In 1919, the Society of Antiquaries in London carried out a series of excavations on the site of Stonehenge to find out more about it. According to the evidence found at the site, Stonehenge was built in three different main periods.
The first period of construction probably started in about 3100 BCE, during the Neolithic Age. During this period a large circular ditch was dug and a ring of 56 pits, known as Aubrey Holes, was made around the ditch.
The second period of construction probably started in 2100 BCE. During this period huge pillars of rock were brought to the site from Wales and erected in two circles around the center of the site. Some people think that the double circle was never completed and dismantled during the third period of construction. Also during the second period the most important part of the whole structure, the 35 ton heel stone, was put into place. When one stands in the center of the monument at dawn, facing the direction in which the sun rises, on either the Summer or Winter solstice, they can see the sun rising directly over the heel stone.
During the third period of construction, a circle of 30 upright stones weighing about 50 tons each was erected and capped by a ring of stone lintels. These stones enclosed a horseshoe-shaped formation of five pairs of upright stones. A stone lintel also capped each of these pairs. Other changes involved adding, removing, and rearranging stones that had been put up during the second period of construction. This last period of construction probably ended around 1550 BCE.
Throughout England there are hundreds of other structures like Stonehenge that scientists think were used for the same purpose. The most famous of these is a 3000-year-old wooden monument in Wiltshire, which is also thought to be an astronomical clock, used for religious ceremonies.
Is Stonehenge an astronomical clock? A site for religious ceremonies? We may never know for sure, but it will always capture our imaginations and make us wonder about life in ancient times.
