Survival Lesson 2.
How well would you do if all of the sudden you were place into the vicious environment of the highest social class? Could carry a single conversation with them or will you simply let them devour you from the circuitous expressions entering your ears? Well, my friend, the key to survival is to sharpen your knowledge. Your brain and what you know will be your only shield so you want it to be strong. In my AP English 12 class, I was given an article to read called The Habits of Mind. These habits of mind are only found among the wealthiest and the most intelligent people but not for long. Let's take a look at these habits.
I know that just by looking at this list, specially if you are not familiar with this terms, can be a bit overwhelming. So don't stress. Some of us do half of these things and we don't even realize it. Being aware of the Habits of Mind has really inspire me to practice them on a daily basis. Practicing this and being aware of this common characteristics will onle make a person more balanced and well rounded so just in case you get stuck in a Tea Party meant only for the rich, you will interact with confidence (just like in this picture) and showcase your Habits of Mind.
